Police said the driver of a 2006 Peterbilt semi truck couldn't stop in time and rear-ended a 2017 Ford Taurus. The semi truck then rolled over and landed on a 2002 Chrysler vehicle and a 2017 Cadillac SUV, police said.

The 55-year-old Detroit woman driving the Taurus was killed, according to authorities. She was not wearing a seat belt, police said.

Police said the 31-year-old Detroit man driving the semi truck, the 19-year-old Macomb woman driving the Chrysler and the 66-year-old Grosse Pointe Woods man driving the Cadillac suffered minor injuries.

A fourth passenger vehicle was struck during the crash, but police are still trying to determine exactly how it was involved. That driver was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, police said.
