An Oakland County (Michigan) worker was struck by a vehicle and killed at a construction site on Wednesday on Orchard Lake Road in Farmington Hills, local officials said. 

A three-person road crew was doing basin work around 11 a.m. Wednesday outside of their vehicle in the northbound lanes of Orchard Lake near Misty Pines Drive, when a silver Ford Escape traveling southbound drove across a median and struck the three workers, according to police. 

One of the road crew members died at the scene. The two other crew members were taken to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries. 

The driver of the Escape was also taken to the hospital. 

The crash and immediate investigation closed Orchard Lake Road between 10 Mile and 11 Mile roads. 

"Our deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones of the deceased. We also extend our thoughts and prayers to the injured crew members and their families as they continue to receive medical attention, along with the entire Road Commission for Oakland County family affected by this tragic incident," said Farmington Hills Police Chief John Piggott in a statement. "Our Traffic Safety Section is actively investigating the factors that contributed to the crash."
