Investigators say that a 27-year-old Redford man, who was not wearing his seatbelt, lost control of his vehicle, eventually striking a bridge embankment after leaving the roadway.
That man was pronounced dead at the scene. After this incident, a section of NB I-75 was closed and ramped off at 7 mile, but that section has since been re-opened.
