DETROIT October 24, 2016. Detroit streets saw multiple serious motor vehicle collisions today with at least 1 fatality. Earlier this AM, Detroit Police and Fire responded to Grand River & Oakman Blvd on reports of a serious traffic collision. That MVA resulted in 1 death and 1 critical patient. The accident apparently stemmed from a vehicle moving at high speed striking another. The struck vehicles occupant was declared dead on the scene. The driver of the suspected speeding driver was conveyed to the hospital in critical condition.
Later @ 4:20PM, a Detroit Police Officer came upon an accident at Gratiot & Glenfield on Detroit’s east side. The scout advised dispatch that she had “One through the windshield”. The DPD Scout continued to ask for the ETA of the Detroit EMS Medic as injuries to the victim(s) were described later as “very serious”. A Hazmat Level 1 was declared by Detroit Fire’s Engine 50. One of the vehicles involved was an 18 Wheeler and one of its 150 gallon diesel fuel tanks was emptying into nearby sewers. Detroit Fire dispatched Battalion Chief 9 to the scene in addition to DFD’s Hazmat 1 for the Level 1 Hazmat incident.
Multiple Detroit EMS Medic units were also dispatched to the scene. Detroit EMS Medic Units 8, 28 and another were sent to the scene. The conditions of those involved are unknown.
At 5:26PM, a Detroit Police Unit advised dispatch he had a serious motor vehicle accident at Connor & Kenmoor on Detroit’s east side, near the Coleman Young Municipal Airport. Transmissions suggest multiple patients including children. Once again, Detroit EMS dispatched multiple Medic units to the scene. Due to the severity of the accident, the Detroit Police roped off the entire scene. Images from the scene suggest 2 vehicles were involved, including an SUV. Other transmissions suggest at least 6 patients were conveyed to local hospitals. Conditions aren’t immediately available.

DETROIT/HIGHLAND PARK: Police responded to the 900 block of E Brentwood on the border of Detroit & Highland Park early Wednesday morning on reports of a domestic disturbance and shots fired. Detroit Police attempted to make contact when the suspect threw cinder blocks at them and shots were fired in their direction. Detroit Police scouts removed 3 children from the residence and initiated a SWAT call-out. Negotiations were attempted but the suspect, Keith Deshawn Montgomery, escaped the residence sometime during the incident. Detroit Police continue to issue “Be On The Look Out” BOLO’s on its main dispatch frequency. The children are reported to be uninjured and in the care of their mother. No DPD officers were injured in the incident.
Detroit Fire Department’s Squad 1 was informed by the public that a possible shooting had taken place on 7 Mile & Forrer in Detroit’s northwest. Squad 1 had been on another call when they were flagged down by citizens. DFD Squad 1 was then assigned by central dispatch to the shooting and made the scene with units of the Detroit Police Department and Detroit Medics. The victim was pronounced at the scene by Detroit EMS. Hours following the shooting, Detroit police units were met by an angry and violent crowd throwing projectiles at officers. Additional backup was requested and numerous police units were dispatched. The shooting scene was made secure shortly thereafter.
