FOX 2 - The driver involved in a fiery traffic crash on I-94 in Detroit was then struck by a passing vehicle after being ejected Thursday morning.
The backstory:
The man was transported to a nearby hospital and is being treated for life-threatening injuries, Michigan State Police said.
Investigators say the man's Dodge Magnum rolled over in a one-car crash on WB I-94 at Concorde that went up an embankment, rolled back down to the freeway and caught fire.

The 23-year-old was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected into the right lane. He was then hit by a passing vehicle, possibly a maroon Ford Escape, MSP said.
"We still continue to see drivers and other passengers not wearing their seatbelts," said
MSP F/Lt. Mike Shaw. "Not only is it the law, but it is common sense. When you get into any vehicle, buckle up. It will save your life."
