Ann Arbor, MI – A major crash on Interstate 94 near Jackson Road caused significant traffic delays Tuesday afternoon, after multiple vehicles, including a tractor-trailer and a vehicle towing a boat, were involved in separate collisions.

According to the Ann Arbor Fire Department, the incident occurred around 2:43 p.m. when a tractor-trailer hauling beverages struck the median barrier wall. The trailer split open, spilling its load across both travel lanes of I-94. In a separate incident, another vehicle towing a boat lost its load, with the boat coming to rest in the roadway.

Fire officials said the barrier wall sustained heavy damage, and cleanup efforts are expected to take several hours. Crews remain on scene assisting with traffic control and debris removal. Authorities warned that drivers should anticipate extended delays in both directions of I-94 while the roadway is cleared.

Police confirmed that all reported injuries were non-life-threatening. Motorists traveling through the area are urged to exercise caution and remain alert for emergency personnel.

The crash adds to an already congested holiday travel period, as Labor Day weekend traffic is expected to remain heavy through the remainder of the week. Officials advised drivers to seek alternate routes where possible.

This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more details become available.
