A Michigan

man was killed Monday afternoon in a two-vehicle collision on Kite Lake

Road in north Fayette County.

Zelman Colbert,

84, of Detroit was taken to Fayette Community Hospital where he was pronounced

dead, police said.

According to

the Fayette County Sheriff's Department, Colbert was a passenger in a

car driven by Beulah M. East, 75, of College Park. East's vehicle was

traveling north on South Kite Lake Road when she stopped at a stop sign

and proceeded to cross Kite Lake Road, police said.

At that point,

East's 1991 Toyota Corolla was struck by a 1999 Ford E-150 van driven

Road, police said.

Hart's vehicle

struck East's car in the right front passenger door where Colbert was

sitting, police said.

Police do not

suspect the use of alcohol or drugs played a role in the crash but blood

samples from both drivers were taken for analysis as with all fatal automobile

collisions. Charges are pending in the case, police said.
