A woman has died after the car she was driving lost control and hit a gravel hauler along I-75 on Thursday morning, Michigan State Police said.
It happened before 7 a.m. in the northbound lanes of I-75 just past 8 Mile in Hazel Park.
Investigators say that the woman was driving a Jeep Compass when she lost control. Her vehicle spun into the path of a gravel hauler. The truck struck the Jeep on the driver's side.
That 24-year-old Houston woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the gravel hauler was not hurt in the incident.
The freeway has been closed at that 8 Mile exit for a few hours to investigate the crash and clean up the scene.
“Troopers are currently working to notify the family of the driver as they are out of state.” said F/Lt Mike Shawin a social media post. “We continue to remind drivers to slow down and drive carefully when road conditions change. Troopers investigated over 35 preventable crashes across the district since midnight.”
