A late-night drive along Interstate 94 ended in tragedy Saturday when a 26-year-old Port Huron man lost his life in a single-car crash. Emergency crews responded to the scene just before midnight in Kimball Township, where they found a lone driver trapped underneath a wrecked vehicle.
The victim was identified by authorities as Kyle Cameron. He was driving eastbound on I-94 between Wadhams Road and Gratiot Road when his car veered off the highway and crashed into a ditch.
Emergency calls came into 911 dispatch around 11:42 p.m., sending police deputies and medical personnel rushing to the stretch of road. Upon arrival, first responders located the vehicle resting in a deep ditch on the east side of the interstate.
Crews found Cameron partially thrown from the vehicle and pinned underneath it. Rescuers worked quickly to free him from the wreckage, but he had already sustained fatal injuries. Emergency workers pronounced him dead at the scene.
At 26 years old, Cameron was living in nearby Port Huron when the crash happened. Relatives and close friends are now left mourning a life cut short on a weekend night.
Deputies confirmed that Cameron was the only person inside the car during the incident. No other vehicles or passengers were involved in the crash along that section of I-94.
Local law enforcement officers are continuing to look into what caused the car to leave the pavement. Initial findings from investigators suggest that both excessive speed and alcohol were factors in the fatal rollover.
