DETROIT (FOX 2) – A semi-truck hauling gravel crashed into an I-94 overpass and caused a massive backup Wednesday afternoon, westbound after Van Dyke in Detroit.
The truck slammed into the overpass, which is at 6450 Frontenac Ave. On a witness video taken from dashcam, it appeared the back hauler of the truck was tilted up, causing the collision.
The truck trailer was aluminum and the bridge is steel. Upon inspection, MDOT saw no visible damage to the bridge, according to Diane Cross, an MDOT spokesperson. Traffic is open over and under the bridge.
“Steel will always win that fight,” Cross told FOX 2.
Frontenac Bridge was rebuilt in 2021.
