ROMULUS, Mich. (WWJ) - Two vehicles crashed headfirst late Friday night, leaving both drivers dead after troopers scoured I-275 in search of a wrong way driver.
The Michigan State Police was first notified late last night of a wrong way driver headed north on the southbound lanes of I-275 near S. Huron River Dr. in Romulus.

Both drivers -- the only occupants in either vehicle -- were declared dead on the scene by authorities.
Police said next of kin have been notified, but the names of the drivers have not been released.
