WWJ Tipster Michelle was just coming off the Rouge River Bridge past the construction zone when she came upon the scene of the crash.
"There was a police car facing east to west, turned sideways on northbound I-75. At least one more vehicle was involved. There were a couple vehicles parked on the shoulder and then semi's on the right shoulder, also," she said.
Traffic was reduced to one lane as crews cleared the scene, creating a mile-long backup. All lanes have since reopened to traffic.
