74-year-old man dead following crash on US-23 Monday

The freeway was closed after Lloyd Road Exit 15.

DUNDEE, Mich. — A 74-year-old man is dead following a crash on US-23 northbound at Brewer Rd. in Monroe County Monday morning. 

According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, 74-year-old Stephen P. Fried of Toledo was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say a 41-year-old was driving a Chevrolet van northbound and rear-ended a Hyundai driven by Fried. Fried was slowing down due to construction work in the area. 

As a result, Fried's Hyundai was pushed into another car, which was subsequently pushed into a third vehicle.

Authorities say it is still unclear whether excessive speed and/or intoxicating substances were a factor in the crash.  

Dundee police, the Dundee Fire Department, the Summerfield Fire Department and the Monroe County Sheriff all responded to the scene.

The crash remains under investigation. Anyone with information regarding the crash is asked to call 734-240-7541.
