Detroit, MI (October 28, 2023) - The right side of westbound I-196 was shut down by a multi-vehicle wreck on Saturday afternoon, October 28, and the Detroit Police Department was called to the site of the crash to investigate.

According to a report from the Michigan Department of Transportation for Wayne County, the accident shut down multiple left lanes at the shoulder. Just before 4:30 p.m., the Detroit Police Department and the Michigan State Police arrived at the site, just after the U.S. Highway 131 exit, to begin their investigation.

The Detroit Police Department also sought emergency medical help, as at least one person sustained injuries. However, it is presently unclear how many people were hurt.

Detectives from the DPD are completing their inquiry and looking for any witnesses who may have further information. No new information has been given since then.

We are thinking about the injured victims and their loved ones at this time, and we hope for their full recovery.
