The driver critically injured in a crash in Scio Township Wednesday morning remained in the hospital in stable condition Friday morning, police said.

The 30-year-old man, a resident of the Toledo, Ohio, area, has head trauma and brain swelling but no broken bones, Washtenaw County sheriff’s Sgt. Geoffrey Fox said in email.

Two passengers who were injured have been released from the hospital.

The crash occurred shortly after 8 a.m. Friday when a southbound van stuck the car as its driver was trying to turn left out of the BP gas station on Zeeb Road just north of Interstate 94.

Traffic was backed up near the gas station, Fox said Wednesday, and one motorist tried to let the car out, but the driver apparently couldn’t see the southbound van in the other lane as he attempted to turn onto the northbound lanes of Zeeb.

All the occupants of the car were wearing seat belts, Fox said.
