Police, along with fire and rescue personnel, provided life-saving measures at the scene before he was rushed to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition.
Campbell reported that the Southfield police were not only investigating at the Radisson Hotel, but that officers were seen canvassing the area just south of that is a Sunoco gas station and collecting evidence on Telegraph and on the ramp from M-10.
"They were collecting evidence as early as maybe 45 minutes ago or an hour ago..." Campbell said. "Police haven't said yet whether it was a road rage incident, but that's the indication from what we can tell."
