Traffic delays in Oakland County due to I-96 crash

A fatal accident occurred on Interstate 96 in Novi, resulting in the deaths of two individuals and causing significant traffic delays in Oakland County. According to the Novi Police Department, the crash occurred when a vehicle stopped on the side of the road due to a possible tire or mechanical issue was rear-ended by another vehicle. Both vehicles caught fire, trapping the drivers inside who were later pronounced dead at the scene. The eastbound lanes of I-96 were closed for several hours following the 2:15 p.m. accident. Additionally, a separate accident occurred earlier near Milford Road, further complicating traffic conditions exacerbated by dense fog in the area. The Michigan State Police encouraged drivers to expect delays, exercise caution, and maintain a safe driving distance due to the accidents and reduced visibility caused by the fog.
