The driver and a 45-year-old male passenger from Detroit were transported by Huron Valley Ambulance to the University of Michigan Hospital. The driver was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The name of the driver is being held pending notification of family.

The passenger is being treated for injuries that are not life threatening, according to the Michigan State Police.

The crash shutdown west-bound I-94 and caused jams along Michigan Avenue.
