DETROIT (FOX 2) - All lanes of southbound I-375 are closed at Gratiot in Detroit due to a jack-knifed semi.

The crashes were reported around 6:45 a.m. Tuesday. Traffic is moving by on the shoulder of the freeways.
Police say the crashes were caused by drivers going too fast.
"It really is pretty simple, slow down in the rain," Michigan State Police F/Lt. Mike Shaw said.
