DETROIT (FOX 2) – While cleaning up a flipped semi-truck trailer Wednesday morning in Detroit, the truck’s load spilled across a ramp.
According to Michigan State Police, a 26-year-old truck driver from Canada was traveling too fast on the ramp from westbound I-94 to eastbound I-96 when the products he was hauling shifted, and the trailer flipped over around 2:15 a.m.
While tow crews were trying to upright the trailer, one side of the trailer wall broke open, spilling about 40,000 pounds of merchandise. Authorities did not specify the type of merchandise dumped. Police said the mess had to be picked up by hand.
The freeway reopened around 10:30 a.m.…
