First Reported By Motor City 911 On Twitter

Detroit: On 12/23 at approximately 3:00AM troops from the Metro South Post were dispatched to a multi vehicle injury crash on W/B I-94 west of Van Dyke.

While heading to the crash troopers observed a car on the shoulder passing stopped traffic at a high rate of speed.

Troopers got behind the vehicle and the suspect vehicle continued to drive on the shoulder. The suspect vehicle eventually stopped once the male driver cleared the stopped traffic. Troopers made contact with the driver. They also observed open alcohol in the vehicle.

Troopers ordered the male driver to exit his vehicle. Troopers attempted to place him under arrest when the driver broke away from the trooper and ran across the freeway through stopped traffic. Troopers tackled the suspect and arrested him without further incident.

The suspect was not injured and was lodged at the Detroit Detention Center. The arresting troopers ankle was severely sprained or broken during the arrest. He was transported from the scene by DFD EMS to a local hospital.

Detroit’s West Side – December 17 2018 – 8:05PM: A 1 year old child is in the hospital this evening after possibly overdosing on opioids. The child was conveyed from the 9600 block of Coyle to Sinai-Grace Hospital by Detroit EMS in critical condition. 

At 8:05 PM on Monday, Detroit EMS dispatched DEMS Medic 26 to the 9600 block of Coyle on reports a 1 year old child was having difficulty breathing, coded as cardiac arrest. Detroit Fire’s Engine 55 was also dispatched.

At 8:08PM. both DEMS Medic 26 and Detroit Fire’s Engine 55 were cancelled when the 911 callers opted for private transport rather than Detroit EMS. Both units then went back into service.

At 8:16PM, Detroit EMS dispatched Medic 25 to the 9600 block of Coyle with once again, Detroit Fire’s Engine 55. This time the call was dispatched as a 1 year old child in possible cardiac arrest/not breathing.

At 8:23PM, DEMS Medic 25 & Detroit Fire’s Engine 55 conveyed the child to Sinai-Grace Hospital. DEMS Medic 25 notified there was no parent on board and that the child was possibly suffering from an opioid overdose. The medic on board also requested Detroit Police be notified due to drugs being involved. A Detroit EMS supervisor was also requested.

Detroit Police officers from the 2nd Precinct responded to Sinai-Grace and investigated. A unit at Sinai-Grace notified dispatch that although a large number of people were at the scene on Coyle, no one came forward as the child’s parent.

DPD’s 2nd Precinct also sent units to the 9600 block of Coyle to secure the scene. Detroit evidence technicians were also dispatched to Sinai-Grace for the collection of evidence for a case of ‘critical child abuse’.

Late Monday evening, units were being assembled to make a possible arrest in the case.

The child’s last transmitted condition was critical and in cardiac arrest.

No further information is available.

Below is audio of Detroit EMS, Detroit Fire and Detroit Police at the time of the incident. The first part of this audio is the call that was cancelled after being dispatched. The second set of transmissions from Detroit EMS & Detroit Fire is the completed call for assistance. The remaining transmissions are those of the Detroit Police Department.
