(CBS DETROIT) — Northbound I-75 near Swan Creek Road in Monroe County reopened Tuesday morning following a crash.

The Michigan Department of Transportation first reported the crash around 6 a.m. Tuesday.

Michigan State Police was working on the crash and advised drivers to find an alternate route.

The two left lanes on southbound I-75 at the Huron River Drive exit were also blocked due to the crash but have since reopened.

MSP says the Monroe County Sheriff's Office was also working a separate crash on southbound I-75 at I-275. The sheriff's office closed southbound I-275 to land a helicopter for injuries sustained in the crash. All southbound lanes on I-75 after I-275 Exit 20 have since reopened.
