On Tuesday afternoon, a 55-year-old man lost his life after a tow truck he was driving ran a red light and struck a semi-truck in Dearborn.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 55-year-old man, of Lincoln Park, was in a tow truck leaving eastbound I-94 at Wyoming at about 1 p.m. when he ran the light and collided with a semi-truck that was heading north on Wyoming.

The tow truck driver and his passenger, a 67-year-old Detroit man, were both thrown from the truck due to the impact. The driver died of his injuries at the scene whereas the passenger sustained serious injuries, but expected to survive. The semi-truck driver, a 48-year-old Ypsilanti man, remained unharmed in the wreck. Alcohol does not seem to have played a part in the crash.

An investigation is ongoing at this time.
