(CBS DETROIT) – Residents are calling for change after a high-speed crash near a dangerous intersection sent several people to the hospital in Dearborn Heights Thursday.
“It’s like a freeway here. It’s like they are over here on Southfield Freeway, just vroom, every day,” Dearborn Heights resident Alex Hernandez says.
Hernandez, who was at home, said he was lying down on his couch when all of a sudden, he heard a big boom.
“It was like an explosion. We came out the door; people are running out of their cars. One car is over there on the grass. One is over here…just panic, man,” Hernandez said.
Dearborn Heights police say a driver going over 100 miles per hour crashed into multiple vehicles at the intersection of Evergreen and Kirkwood Avenue, causing injuries to at least six people.
“We have four families that are severely affected because of this one act,” Dearborn Heights Police Director of Support Services Paul Vanderplow said.
