Oakland, MI (January 15, 2024) – At around 6:35 p.m. on January 14, the Michigan Department of Transportation notified the police and firefighters out of Oakland that they were needed at the scene of a motor vehicle accident that ended in injuries. The crash occurred on Interstate 696.

Investigations determined that a collision occurred on the eastbound side of the interstate near Orchard Lake Road. The crash prompted officials to close off the roadway near Exit 5, causing extensive delays that extended back to the middle belt Road. The Michigan Department of Transportation reported some disruptions in the area as the police and firefighters remained at the scene. At least one person was transported to an area hospital, where they underwent medical care for their injuries. At this time, investigations into the crash are ongoing.

We hope the victims hurt in this crash recover quickly.
