DETROIT, Wayne County, Mich., Nov. 8, 2026 — Multiple people were hurt on Friday, November 6, in a multi-vehicle crash near 8 Mile Road and Grandville Avenue that reportedly sent one vehicle into a building, according to Detroit Police. The crash happened in the area of a business identified in radio traffic as Ace of Spades, on the city's northwest side.
Detroit Police's 8th Precinct was handling the scene, which involved multiple vehicles and multiple injuries, officers said over radio traffic. One vehicle reportedly left the roadway and struck a building, though the extent of damage has not been confirmed. Detroit Fire EMS units, including Medic 4 and Hart Medic 54, responded to treat the injured.
The crash location sits close to the Detroit-Southfield border, and Southfield Police also responded, as it appeared the crash, or a related one nearby, may have occurred partly within Southfield city limits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes multi-vehicle pile-ups?
These crashes commonly start with one vehicle losing control, stopping suddenly, or colliding with another, and then additional vehicles become involved before traffic can slow or stop.
Why do chain-reaction crashes happen?
Following too closely, reduced visibility, and delayed reaction time frequently turn a single crash into a chain-reaction event involving several vehicles.
What should I do if I'm stopped near a crash on the highway or busy road?
Turn on hazard lights, stay in the vehicle if it's safe to do so, and move as far from traffic lanes as possible while waiting for emergency responders.
