Detroit woman, 38, dies after wrong-way crash on southbound I-75

A 38-year-old Detroit woman died after being involved in a wrong-way crash on southbound I-75 near Rosa Parks Boulevard early Tuesday morning. 

All lanes of southbound I-75 from Grand River Road to Rosa Parks Boulevard in Wayne County were closed at 4:01 a.m. in the aftermath of the crash, the Michigan Department of Transportation said. All traffic was diverted off the freeway at Grand River Road, and police recommended taking alternate routes.   

Michigan State Police, which is investigating the crash, said state police got reports shortly before 4 a.m. of a driver heading northbound in the southbound lanes of I-75, near Dearborn Street. 

Additional emergency calls then reported a two-vehicle rollover crash, involving a vehicle fire, on southbound I-75 near Rosa Parks Boulevard. State police say the suspected wrong-way driver is currently being treated at a local hospital. 

Authorities have not identified the victim. 

Police have not determined any contributing factors that may have caused the driver to drive the wrong way on the freeway. 

The crash remains under investigation. 

I-75 in that area was back open about 10:13 a.m., according to MDOT traffic reports.
