ANN ARBOR, MI - A hydroplaning car lost control on I-94 in Ann Arbor Friday night, striking a man outside his own vehicle and killing him, police said.
The deceased was a 26-year-old man from Warren, said the Michigan State Police. His death occurred in a series of crashes on eastbound I-94 near Stone School Road caused in part by a July 10 storm in southeastern Michigan, police said.
Officers responded to the initial car crash at 9:55 p.m. Friday, police said. After hydroplaning and losing control when driving over a “large body of water,” the first vehicle struck a median wall, leading the driver to pull over to the side of the road and call 911, police said.
Minutes later, a second car hydroplaned and crashed into the first car, police said. The driver of the second vehicle exited to assess the crash damage, police said.
Shortly after, a third car lost control on the body of water and collided with the first two cars, as well as the Warren man, police said. The victim was pronounced dead on scene, police said.
Nobody else involved suffered anything other than minor injuries, police said. Ann Arbor police and Huron Valley Ambulance assisted on scene. Neither alcohol nor substance use is considered a factor in the crashes at this time. The incident is still under investigation.
An alert to avoid eastbound I-94 near State Street was released at 10:36 p.m. Friday by the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office. All lanes reopened at 3:08 a.m. Saturday, July 11, according to another sheriff’s office alert.
It is recommended that during times of low visibility, including storms, that people involved in traffic crashes remain inside their vehicles until authorities arrive on scene, said the Michigan State Police.
