When troopers arrived at the scene, they found an excavator on its side leaking fuel and hydraulic fluid on the roadway but didn’t see a semi.

Troopers searched around the area for the semi but were unsuccessful.

They believe someone stole the excavator from a worksite on Seneca Street in Detroit. The excavator on the truck’s flatbed then hit the overpass and rolled onto the roadway. Police said the semi continued to drive away from the scene.
