DETROIT, Mich. — A child died and five other people were hurt late Saturday when a three-vehicle crash tore through the westbound Davison Freeway near Interstate 75 in Detroit, Michigan State Police said.

Troopers were called to M-8 near I-75 at about 11:45 p.m. on Halloween. Investigators said a silver Chevrolet Impala struck the back of another vehicle, and that driver then lost control and hit a third car.

Six people were riding in the Impala. The child was thrown from the car and later died at a hospital. Officials have not released the age of the child. The five other people from the Impala were taken to hospitals with injuries that ranged from minor to critical.
