CLAWSON, Mich. (AP) - A man who police say lost control of his car along a Detroit area highway and caused a tanker carrying 13,000 gallons of fuel to crash and explode has offered no apology.
Twenty-7-year-old Saied Haidarian-Shari of Clawson was 1 of 3 drivers who escaped Wednesday night’s fiery explosion along Interstate 75 with minor injuries.
When asked Thursday night by WJBK-TV whether he felt he should apologize for the crash that also included a tractor-trailer, Haidarian-Shari said: “No.”
He says, “I don’t think I made a mistake,” adding that he’s given a statement to police.
Crews are removing debris from a collapsed section of bridge over the northbound expressway. The National Transportation Safety Board also is investigating.
No one has been cited.
Leaving the scene.
Some piece of work. Be interesting to learn if he actually has auto insurance.
Driving 70 in a 50 when you’ve only had a license for a couple of months. Yeah, that’s not a “mistake.”
