Four young males were thrown from the SUV and killed when it collided with a bridge pier on an expressway in Detroit, according to state police.
When the GMC Yukon hit the pier around 8:00 p.m., it moved quickly. Witnesses informed state troopers that the incident occurred Sunday evening on I-96 westbound near Grand River Avenue in Detroit.
