Video shows moment truck hauling gravel slams into overpass on I-94 in Detroit


DETROIT (FOX 2)A semi-truck hauling gravel crashed into an I-94 overpass which caused a massive backup westbound after Van Dyke Wednesday in Detroit.

The truck slammed into the overpass which is at 6450 Frontenac Ave. On a witness video taken from dashcam, it appeared the back hauler of the truck was tilted up, causing the collision.

MDOT posted on X that the center and right lanes were blocked as police and other responders deal with the crash and the Van Dyke entrance ramp was closed.

By about 6 p.m. the closed lanes reopened, and the scene was cleared, according to MDOT.

The truck hauling the gravel appears to be from a company in Flat Rock. No injuries were reported, according to Michigan State Police.
