Two people were killed after a crash involving a minimum of four cars on Interstate 75 in Detroit Sunday afternoon.

According to Michigan State Police, the crash happened on southbound I-75 near Mack Avenue around 3:05 p.m. 

Police say a 58-year-old woman driving a 2001 Ford Crown Victoria was in the left lane and struck a 2021 Chevrolet Traverse that was slowing down or stopped in traffic. The crash forced the Traverse into a 2022 Kia Telluride and the Kia into a 2024 Jeep Wrangler. Troopers say the at-fault driver did not brake before the crash. 

A passenger in the Ford Crown Victoria, a 50-year-old Novi man, was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in the Kia Telluride, a 56-year-old Farmington Hills woman, was also pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say occupants of other vehicles involved suffered minor injuries. 

The freeway was closed near the crash scene for hours Sunday to allow police to investigate.

"It is important for all drivers to remember that every time they get behind the wheel they are not only responsible for themselves and their passengers, but others that they share the road with as well," said MSP Lt. Mike Shaw. "Driving requires all of our attention, all of the time. Driving conditions can change in a split second and if drivers are not paying attention, it can be deadly."  

Investigators will submit a report to the prosecutor's office.
