MANSFIELD TWP. -- Two people remain hospitalized after a suspected drunk driving crash in Iron County Tuesday afternoon.  The Iron County Sheriff's Department reports the crash happened on M-69, near Parks Creek in Mansfield Township.

A vehicle driven by a 37-year-old Wallace woman was hit head-on by an oncoming vehicle, driven by a 52-year-old Crystal Falls man.

The woman, along with her 15-year-old daughter, were trapped inside, and rescuers used the jaws of life to free them.  They were taken to North Star Hospital in Iron River for treatment and later transferred to Marquette General.

There's been no word on the extent of their injuries or current condition.

The woman's three-year-old daughter was also hurt.

The Crystal Falls man refused medical treatment.
