DETROIT – A man died Tuesday after being ejected from his vehicle during a single-car crash in Detroit.
A single-vehicle rollover crashed occurred Tuesday, April 25, in the are of westbound I-94 and Lonyo Street. The freeway was closed Tuesday night as police investigated the incident.
Michigan State Police were dispatched to a single-vehicle crash with possible ejection, and when they arrived on the scene, they made contact with medical units.
Troopers say a 47-year-old man from Dearborn lost control of his vehicle and rolled over, causing him to be ejected from his vehicle.
EMS attempted life-saving measures at the scene, but the driver was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, officials said. Police believe excessive speed was a factor in the crash.
“Another family is mourning the death of a family member due to a preventable crash,” said Lt. Mike Shaw, public information officer. “I can’t stress enough the importance of wearing a seatbelt and making good decisions while driving.”
