Crash Causes Backup on Westbound I-96

One person confirmed dead. Michigan State Police remain on the scene, Tuesday afternoon, after investigators say a pickup truck left the roadway and struck a power line station at Taft near Novi Road. Its not clear at this time if there may have been another vehicle involved, what caused the driver to veer off the freeway, or what else led up to the accident. The right lane is closed to traffic for the duration of the investigation, with the crash also affecting the entrance ramp. Backups are reported from I-696/Orchard Lake Rd. Motorists are asked to avoid the area, using 12 Mile or Grand River Ave. back to westbound I-96 as an alternate. > reply
