STERLING HEIGHTS (WWJ) -- A Washington Township man was killed Thursday morning in a rollover crash in Sterling Heights.


According to police, the 29-year-old was driving a Lincoln Navigator through the intersection at 18 Mile Rd. and Mound, at around 6 a.m., when the driver of a Ford Fusion reportedly ran a red light.

The Navigator rolled over, and the driver was ejected.

Lifesaving efforts were performed on scene before he was transported to a local hospital, where he later died of his injuries, police said. His name was not released.

No other injuries were reported.

The 18 Mile and Mound intersection was closed for a time with police on scene, but has since reopened to traffic.

Authorities said alcohol doesn't appear to be a factor. The crash remains under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to call Traffic Specialist Officer Bryce of the Sterling Heights Police Department at 586-446-2924.
