FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (FOX 2) - A man was hit and killed early Tuesday during an I-275 crash in Farmington Hills. 

The crash happened just after 4 a.m. on the southbound side of I-275 near Eight Mile, and it appears now the scene actually involves two crashes. 

Police investigating two crash scenes on I-275 that left 1 man dead

SB I-275 is closed right now at M-5 after a crash left one man dead and another hospitalized early Tuesday morning.

We're told dispatch got a call about a reckless driver around that time and that the driver had crashed into a guard rail. 

A short time later, dispatchers were watching an MDOT camera and saw the vehicle get hit by another driver. It appears that's when the driver who was changing his tire was hit. 

One man was killed and another was taken to the hospital after crawling out of the vehicle that had rolled over. 

Police are investigating the two separate crashes right now. 

SB I-275 near M-5 was closed for several hours for the investigation.
