Tough Tuesday Commute: Fatal Crash In Ortonville, Flipped SUV on 696

(WWJ) There were reports of black ice scattered across metro Detroit Tuesday morning.

And as the commute heated up, the crashes accelerated.

A two-car collision on Dixie Highway left one person dead.

Dixie Highway remained closed throughout the morning in both directions in Groveland Township in northern Oakland County ... because of a deadly crash. Michigan State Police told WWJ that two cars were involved in the accident between Oak Hill and Tindall Road -- just south of the Mt. Holly ski resort. No other details are available yet -- investigators remain on the scene.

And a rollover crash on I-696 at Telegraph left lengthy back-ups. Only one lane was getting by.

WWJ is following both crashes to get updated information.
