5/23/13 - The on-ramp from M-59 to eastbound I-96 has re-opened in Howell Township after a semi-truck overturned earlier today. The semi was traveling on the eastbound on-ramp from Burkhart Road to eastbound I-96 at around 10am but lost control and flipped over. Michigan State Police at the Brighton Post tell WHMI preliminary investigation indicates the semi-truck was traveling too fast on the ramp. The driver reported minor injuries and was treated by Livingston County EMS and then transported to St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital in Howell. Police say the truck was hauling vehicle parts and was leaking fuel. The on-ramp from M-59 to eastbound I-96 was closed for a few hours while crews worked to upright the semi-truck. (JM)
