Dearborn Man, 20, Killed In I-94 Crash: Police

DETROIT — A 20-year-old Dearborn man was killed in a crash on Interstate 94 in Detroit on Wednesday night, according to Michigan State Police.

The crash happened at 9:45 p.m. Wednesday in the eastbound lanes near Junction, according to police.

Police said the Dearborn man was speeding on the freeway when he struck the back of another car.

He then lost control of his car and went up the right embankment, hitting a tree before rolling over and catching fire on the service drive, according to police.

Officials extricated the man from the car and took him to a nearby hospital where he died, according to police.

There were no other injuries in the crash, according to police.

"One of the hardest responsibilities we have is to notify family members that their loved one died in a preventable crash," Michigan State Police First Lt. Mike Shaw said. "We continue to see these preventable crashes due to drivers driving way too fast. Please slow down!"
