Overview
- The rollover was reported around 7:45 a.m. on the southbound Lodge Freeway near the ramp to westbound I-94.
- Officials said the Chevy Suburban appeared to miss the ramp, travel up a grassy embankment, strike a tree, and overturn with no sign of braking.
- Troopers found the Romulus driver trapped while Detroit firefighters extricated him, and he was unconscious with a faint pulse before transport to a hospital.
- Michigan State Police said the vehicle may only have become visible after sunrise, suggesting the crash could have occurred hours earlier.
- Investigators have not determined whether alcohol or drugs were factors, and the freeway, closed during the response, has since reopened.
