Man Killed In Rollover Crash On I-75 In Detroit: Police

DETROIT — A man died in a rollover crash along Interstate 75 in Detroit on Monday, according to Michigan State Police.

The crash happened at 2:10 p.m. in the northbound lanes on the freeway near the Schaefer Highway exit ramp, according to police.

Investigators believe the driver was going too fast when he took the exit ramp and lost control. They said the vehicle veered off the roadway and into a grassy area on the left shoulder. It then careened back onto the freeway where it struck the metal guardrail and rolled over, coming to a rest on its roof, according to police.

The driver was killed in the crash, according to police.

Police identified him as a 45-year-old man from Taylor.

It was unclear if drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash, which was still under investigation.

"We continue to see excessive speed lead to traffic crashes," Michigan State Police First Lt. Mike Shaw said in the social media post. "Troopers are currently investigating this crash and are working to identify the driver. It has been determined that the driver was not wearing a seatbelt."
