One Killed In I-275 Crash
A Monroe man is dead following an early morning accident that tied up the morning commute on I-275.
Romulus police are looking for witnesses to the accident that occurred just before 6 a.m. on northbound I-275 near Eureka.
Investigators say the driver of a Ford Ranger pickup truck lost control and it flipped over. As the 32-year old driver was trying to climb out of the passenger window, a car crashed into the truck killing him.
An Erie man driving the car was taken to a local hospital. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
The roads were sillpery due to rain.
Anyone who may have seen the accident is asked to call Romulus Police at (734) 941-8400.
The northbound lanes of I-275 were closed for nearly five hours. By afternoon, the accident had been cleared and all lanes reopened.
