Wrong-Way Crash Closes Southbound I-75 Through Downtown Detroit

Investigators are probing reports that one vehicle entered southbound lanes the wrong way and caused a two-vehicle rollover and vehicle fire.

Overview

  • State police received reports of a vehicle traveling north in the southbound lanes of I-75 near Dearborn Street before calls came in about a two-vehicle rollover near Rosa Parks Boulevard.
  • The crash produced a vehicle fire and prompted emergency crews to close all southbound lanes between Grand River Road and Rosa Parks Boulevard and divert traffic off at Grand River Road.
  • The Michigan State Police are leading the active investigation and have said one of the vehicles involved may have been the wrong-way driver.
  • Authorities have not released details about injuries or arrests and describe the cause and full sequence of events as still under investigation.
  • Motorists should expect continued delays and use MDOT’s MI Drive for updates because the closure and diversion are affecting downtown traffic and ongoing emergency operations.
