ALPENA — An 88-year-old Alpena woman died from injuries sustained in a car crash on Monday on Genschaw Road near Princeton Avenue, according to the Michigan State Police- Alpena Post.

Martha Krajnik was on Monday transported to MidMichigan Medical Center-Alpena, where she died shortly after arriving.

The crash occurred when a Chevy Trailblazer, driven by an 18-year-old Alpena woman, was traveling north on Genschaw Road and swerved into the southbound lane to avoid a Ford F-150 that had stopped in the roadway, waiting for another vehicle to turn.

The Trailblazer had minor contact with the F-150 before colliding head-on with the Toyota Prius in which Krajnik was an occupant and that was traveling south on Genschaw Road.

Police did not say whether Krajnik was driving or was a passenger.

Krajnik and two other passengers in the Prius were transported to the hospital for treatment. The drivers of the Trailblazer and F-150 did not report any injuries at the scene, police said.

The crash remains under investigation.

Once the investigation is complete, a report will be forwarded to the Alpena County Prosecutor’s Office for review.

Police are asking anyone who witnessed the crash to call the MSP-Alpena Post at 989-354-4101.

Police do not believe alcohol was a factor in the crash.
