Telegraph Road was closed for hours in both directions between Plymouth and Joy roads for the crash investigation.
Witnesses said the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed before losing control, hitting a sign, rolling down the road and wrapping around a utility pole. The car may have exceeded speeds of 100 mph.
"There was a witness who stated the vehicle passed him at a very high rate of speed. He was driving a semi. We asked him to pull over while we were securing the scene but he didn't stop. If anyone witnessed this vehicle, which is a gray Kia Optima new model, traveling southbound on Telegraph Road near Plymouth Road or at any other point (please contact police)," said Sgt. Duane Gregg.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact Redford Township police at 313-387-2551.
