The 26-year-old driver’s car was seen swerving on the road before hitting an embankment.
The car then overturned and flipped over onto the freeway where it only began to stop when it crashed into the divider.
Pieces of the car were shown flying across the highway during the fiery tumble.
The crash closed the freeway for more than two hours while authorities investigated, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.
At the time, two people were in the vehicle and the driver was taken to the hospital.
The passenger was said to only suffer from minor injuries, while the driver is currently in stable condition.
Police said they are currently investigating the accident.
‘THESE WERE YOUNG PEOPLE’
The crash in Detroit was not the only car accident caught on camera.
On May 12, footage released by the Pasadena Police Department in Pasadena, California, showed the horrifying crash that killed multiple people.
Around 2:30 am a Model 3 Tesla was shown going 100 miles an hour going through Foothill Boulevard.
The vehicle ran a red light and almost collided with another vehicle passing by.
The car hit a curb and began careening off the road.
Once the car lost control, it hit a street light causing it to launch into the air.
The footage showed the car hitting powerlines as it flew into a vacant building.
Prior to the crash, one neighbor revealed they heard the victims playing loud music in their car.
“He heard the sound like maybe they’re kids looking for a place to party, or partying in their car or something,” Geraldine Keams said to local CW affiliate KTLA.
“And it was very heartfelt for us to hear especially that these were young people with their whole lives ahead of them… and for such a tragedy to happen.”
Those in the neighborhood saw firsthand how horrific the scene was.
“It was kind of like a sci-fi movie, when I got down the street, I saw the bodies lying around,” resident Bill Otto said.
“They were asking for help, I didn’t know who to help first, everybody was in bad shape.”
