A Wayne County jail transport van has crashed on northbound I-75 near Clay Street in Detroit, according to WDIV-TV (Channel 4).
Channel 4 business editor Rod Meloni tweeted out a video of at least two ambulances and three law enforcement vehicles clustered in the right lane of northbound I-75.
WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) reported that the transport van was rear-ended by another vehicle. The station added that all seven people inside the vehicle — five prisoners and two deputies — sustained minor injuries.
Meloni said that prisoners were loaded onto ambulances at the scene.
Michigan State Police and the Wayne County Sheriff's Office were not immediately available for comment.
