SB I-275 closed at Eight Mile due to fatal crash

All lanes of southbound I-275 are closed at Eight Mile on Thursday morning due to a fatal crash involving a semi-truck and a car Thursday morning. 

A 21-year-old man is dead after a crash with a semi-truck early Thursday on I-275.

Livonia police said it appears the Plymouth man was driving a Chevrolet Camaro too fast for the conditions when he spun out on the southbound side of the freeway near Eight Mile just before 4 a.m. It was raining at the time.

The Camaro was struck by a semi-truck and became lodged under the front of the truck. The semi driver was uninjured.

The crash closed the freeway for several hours. As of 8:15 a.m., police said two lanes have reopened, and the freeway is expected to fully reopen soon.
