One lane of eastbound I-94 will likely remain closed until 3 or 4 p.m., Sgt. Chris Pascoe of the Ypsilanti Post of the Michigan State Police said. The cleanup is taking a long time because crews have to manually empty the trucks, he said.
One semi driver told police he fell asleep, Pascoe said, and the other said he was picking something up from the floor when the crash occurred. “It’s a real mess out there on I-94 today,” Pascoe said.
The first crash occurred about 3 a.m. near Pierce Road, Pascoe said. The second happened about an hour later near Kalmbach Road about a mile west of the first one, Pascoe said.
"It was a fluke," said Pascoe. "Two semis both drove off the road and overturned last night within in an hour of each other."
