Authorities say a man accused of ignoring a stop sign in a crash that killed five people in Michigan was driving despite a suspended license.
Fred Woodhams, spokesman for the secretary of state, tells The Detroit News (http://detne.ws/2q90AOz ) that Matthew Carrier's license was suspended because of unpaid tickets and the 22-year-old's "unsatisfactory" driving record.
Police say Carrier's car failed to stop at a sign in Livingston County on Tuesday night, striking another vehicle on Michigan Highway 59. Carrier and two others are in critical condition.

The five dead include Candice Dunn, who was returning home from a banquet. She had been honored by the state Corrections Department as probation agent of the year.
