A driver was fatally injured, with his passenger seriously injured, in the aftermath of a two-vehicle crash Thursday night in Pontiac, Michigan. 

Nahum Ponce Quevedo, 50, of Waterford Township, was pronounced dead at a local hospital after paramedics tended to him, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said. An autopsy has been scheduled. 

His passenger, a 25-year-old Waterford Township woman, was taken to a hospital, where she was listed in critical condition on Friday.

Deputies have not yet determined who had the right of way at the time. 

The driver of the Jeep, a 55-year-old Waterford Township man, was not injured, deputies said.

The incident remains under investigation by the Sheriff's Office Crash Reconstruction Unit.
