ROMULUS (WWJ) - Travelers coming to and from Detroit Metro Airport are at a standstill after a bus crash that injured four people snarled traffic Friday evening.

Spokeswoman Erica Donerson with the Wayne County Airport Authority told WWJ the traffic trouble started after an airport employee driving a shuttle collided with the tunnel walls along John Dingell Drive around 5:30 p.m.

Four people were hurt in the incident, including the driver — the severity of their injuries are currently unknown.

People who had picked up or dropped off passengers said they were at a dead stop on the roads while other areas along the drive were slow moving.

WWJ is working to find more information about the crash, which is still under investigation as of 8:15 p.m.

Donerson said the southbound Dingell ramps to southbound Eureka are temporarily closed.

"At this time, there does not appear to be any structural damage to the tunnel," she said.
