Detroit SUV Rollover Accident Fatality

I was reading the Detroit Free Press this morning when I found an article about a tragic Detroit SUV Accident Fatality on I-94 that killed the driver and seriously injured the passenger. According to the Detroit Police, a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer allegedly sped along I-94, near Van Dyke, when the driver lost control and hit the guardrail rolling it onto the freeway.
