On Monday, one person was killed following a rollover crash in Highland Park.

As per the initial information, the fatal two-vehicle collision took place at about 1:20 a.m. The preliminary investigation indicated that a car heading east on the Davison freeway, just west of I-75, tried to move into the right lane from the center. The driver was changing lanes when they sideswiped a car that was already in the right lane.

The force of the collision caused the innocent driver to lose control as a result of which their vehicle hit the right concrete wall and then flipped over several times. When officers arrived, the victim was already transported to the hospital where they were later declared dead upon arrival. The at-fault driver was also taken to a hospital only for a blood draw.

Eastbound Davison Freeway was shut down at the Oakland Avenue exit for a few hours as crews worked at the scene. Charges have not been revealed at this time. The deceased’s next of kin has been notified, but their identity has not been disclosed. No other details are made available.

The crash remains under review.
