A person has been found dead near the Huron Street ramp to westbound I-94.

Police were called to the scene and shut down the ramp about 10:30 a.m. Dec. 17.

The call came after a semi-truck driver observed an individual along the side of the road, according to Karen Gabrys, a public affairs specialist for Huron Valley Ambulance.

Gabrys said the individual was unresponsive and although paramedics attempted life-saving measures, the person was pronounced dead at the scene.

Michigan State Police were still at the scene at about 11:30 a.m. and the body could be seen covered with white sheet about seven feet off the road.

Police confirmed their investigation, but released no further details.
