DETROIT (WWJ) -- Michigan State Police are investigating an incident after a speeding driver flipped their car while fleeing a traffic stop.
At approximately 3:35 a.m. on Friday, an MSP trooper was sitting on the S/B service drive of M-10 near Meyer Rd. when he was alerted by his rear-facing radar that a car was traveling at 80 mph.
As the white Chevy Camaro passed him he attempted the stop the car. The Chevy Camaro entered the expressway and the driver, a 29-year-old from Detroit, lost control and flipped onto its side, sliding several hundred feet.
The driver attempted to flee the scene on foot but was quickly arrested by the trooper.
There were three other people inside the car. They were treated at the scene and one was transported to Henry Ford Hospital.
The freeway was closed for a short time to remove the suspect's vehicle.
The suspect was transported to Henry Ford Hospital for an investigative blood draw to see if he was operating the vehicle while under the influence.
Police said the vehicle was not stolen and it's unknown at this time why the suspect fled authorities.
The investigation continues and will be turned over to the prosecutor's office.
