Pontiac — A 25-year-old Maybee man died Friday afternoon after being involved in a head-on collision with a garbage truck, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.
Witnesses told deputies that about 2:41 p.m. Friday, the man's 1994 black Jeep Cherokee was seen speeding along northbound Joslyn Road near Upland Avenue just before he lost control and swerved into southbound lanes.
The man crashed directly into a southbound garbage truck, causing both vehicles to wind up on the front lawn of a home on the 1500 block of Joslyn.
Waterford Township firefighters extricated the man who was rushed to McLaren Hospital and later transferred to Royal Oak Beaumont, where he died. His name hasn't been released.
The 41-year-old garbage truck driver suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Deputies say it's unknown whether the man who died was wearing a seat belt; however, alcohol is not believed to be a factor. The crash remains under investigation.
