(WXYZ) — The first rainy morning we've seen in a while across metro Detroit has led to several crashes on metro Detroit freeways.

The I-75/I-375 ramp to Gratiot is also closed due to a jackknifed semi.

According to Michigan State Police, the crashes were caused by semis driving too fast in the conditions.

Around 3:35 a.m., Michigan State Police were also called to a jackknifed semi on northbound I-75 near Fort St. in Detroit.

Police say the semi was driving too fast, lost control and struck the median, damaging a large section of the wall. That crash also sent debris into the southbound lanes, which damaged several other vehicles.
