Surveillance cameras from a nearby business captured the crash, and footage shows several people rushing to the wreck to try to help.

A fifth person is hospitalized in critical condition, according to Detroit police. It was erroneously originally reported by multiple sources that the fifth person had died.

Police said the cause of the crash is still under investigation, but speed appears to have been a factor.
