Detroit — Two children killed in a massive pileup at the Rouge River bridge during Thursday's morning rush hour were siblings traveling with their parents from Windsor, Ont.
The children, a 7-year-old boy and 9-year-old girl, were traveling in one of the 30 vehicles involved in the 9:30 a.m. crash that shut Interstate 75 near Springwells and prompted an emergency request for 20 ambulances. Their parents are among those believed to be injured in the accident, police say.
Another motorist also was killed in the crash, which shut down the bridge for hours. None of the victims' names have been released.
The chain-reaction crash, described as being a "mile long," occurred on southbound I-75 from Springwells to Schaefer, forcing the closure of both sides of the freeway for several hours.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
