"We were actually coming down to Detroit and it was fairly the backup," Brian Pauken said.
The closure centered on the five-car crash. Drivers spun out of control and one SUV flipped.
"So sad. I'm sure there are so many virginal people," said Amy Hecht, who spotted the accident.
Two people died in what state police are investigating as a case of road rage. The crash took the life of a 22-year-old woman from Commerce and a 23-year-old woman from White Lake, according to MSP.
"What's wrong with people today? Why can't we get along and have a little patience? We need patience," Hecht said.
MSP kept the freeway shut down for close to four hours.
"We were reminded even however it was a long wait, it was unfortunate what actually happened was the serious part of it," Pauken said.
State police are still looking for the original vehicle and its driver who caused the wreck. It's unclear if that vehicle cut off a car or stopped all of a sudden.
"I hope there are enough witnesses that they will be able to find somebody," Hecht said.
"I'm sure they'll most likely catch them. Let's hope so," Pauken said.
State police have not provided a description of the car or who was behind the wheel.
UPDATE: MSP released the following updated information Sunday morning:
At this time preliminary investigation exposed that a two thousand eleven Ford Edge was traveling in the left center lane of southbound I-75. A two thousand thirteen Jeep Grand Cherokee was traveling in the left lane. For a yet to be determined reason, the Grand Cherokee entered the left center lane and struck the Edge. The influence caused the driver of the Cherokee to lose control, spin out, and roll over. The influence also caused the driver of the Edge to lose control and hit a one thousand nine hundred ninety nine Ford Van causing the van to lose control, spin out, and strike a two thousand fifteen GMC Terrain. The Terrain lost control, and flipped over. During the crash a two thousand seventeen Chevrolet Equinox was also struck, however investigators have not determined by which vehicle yet. The exact cause of the crash has not been determined and is still under investigation pending autopsy results, vehicle inspections, and evidence possessing and interviews.
