TOLEDO, Ohio — A man is dead after being hit by multiple cars just over the Ohio border in Michigan on I-75 overnight Sunday.
The crash happened just south of the Summit Street exit ramp around 2:41 a.m. under limited visibility conditions due to heavy fog.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says 33-year-old Devontae Shackelford, of Monroe, was standing in the center lane of I-75 north after exiting his vehicle, which was parked on the shoulder.
Police say early investigation indicates that Mr. Shackelford was struck multiple times by multiple vehicles including one drive by 33-year-old Eric Glant, also of Monroe.
Police say the other vehicles that struck Mr. Shackelford failed to stop at the scene.
Shackelford was pronounced dead at the scene. Mr. Glant was uninjured and was released at the scene.
The crash caused law enforcement to close down I-75 for much of the morning.
