(CBS DETROIT) - Michigan State Police are investigating after a driver was blocking a lane on I-94 following a shooting and left the vehicle unoccupied before troopers arrived at the scene.
Troopers were dispatched to the area of eastbound I-94 and Cadieux Road at about 2:10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 28, for a vehicle blocking the center lane.
While troopers were heading to the location, Detroit police broadcasted over the MSP radio that the vehicle was possibly involved in a recent shooting, according to ShotSpotter.
Further investigation revealed that the blocking vehicle, a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe, was involved in a shooting that happened off the freeway.
