At 6 30 AM, on 6/5, troopers assigned to the Metro South Post responded to a 2 vehicle fatal crash on westbound M14 near Sheldon Road in Plymouth Twp. Preliminary investigation revealed that a vintage vehicle lost control and spun under a semi truck trailer.

The driver of the home made kit car called a "Factory Five" was killed instantly in the crash. Next of kin have not been notified. All traffic was diverted on to I275 at M14 for the crash investigation. The driver was wearing a seatbelt and speed was a factor in the crash pic.twitter.com/LrD2ZLEURM

that's so sad.... that's what race tracks are for...

These kit cars are HIGH PERFORMANCE... and while the garage mechanic may be able to put them together... driving them requires insane amounts of skill and experience. My condolences and prayers to the family or families of those involved. Tragic. :(
