Driver ejected, injured during rollover crash early Friday at I-96 and M-39
A driver was ejected into the road during a rollover crash that happened about 1 a.m. Friday on Interstate 96 in Metro Detroit, the Michigan State Police reported.
Multiple calls went to Detroit Regional Communications Center about the crash, which happened in the eastbound lanes of I-96 Local to the M-39 ramp in Wayne County.
When troopers arrived, they found the driver on the roadway.
Preliminary investigation showed that the 30-year-old Detroit man was driving a GMC Yukon when he struck the center median and rolled over several times. He was ejected during the crash, landing on the road; the vehicle came to rest in the left and center lanes of I-96.
The driver was taken to a local hospital.
The freeway lanes were closed during the investigation.
"This crash is an example of what we are seeing on our roadways: A driver going too fast and losing control of their vehicle and not wearing a seatbelt," state police F/Lt Mike Shaw said. "Please keep your speeds down and wear your seatbelt, no matter where you are seated in the car."
