Preschooler injured in three-car collision at I-96 and Southfield
A 3-year-old child was injured when they were tossed from the back seat into the front windshield of a vehicle during a three-car crash in Metro Detroit, the Michigan State Police reported.
The crash happened about 9:40 a.m. Thursday in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 96's local lanes to the Southfield Freeway (M-39).
The Detroit Regional Communication Center sent troopers to the scene, who determined that a 32-year-old woman from Detroit was driving the vehicle that caused the crash. During the collision, a 3-year-old child who was in the back seat of that vehicle was thrown into the front windshield. The preschooler was taken to a local hospital for medical treatment.
There were no other serious injuries reported among those involved in the crash.
Access to the ramp was closed during the initial crash investigation. The Michigan Department of Transportation traffic reports listed the ramp as reopened to traffic at 11:15 a.m.
"Drivers are responsible for all the passengers in their vehicle," Michigan State Police F/Lt. Mike Shaw said about the crash. "It is even more important to ensure that children are belted in to the proper child seat. Every trip, every time."
Michigan's child car seat laws were updated April 2. All children age 12 and younger must sit in the rear seating area of a motor vehicle, and additionally in a child-sized car seat depending on their age and size.

Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani hit historic home runs as Dodgers defeat Yankees
Two of baseball's biggest stars lined up against each other on Friday and produced a blockbuster, historic game. First Aaron Judge and then Shohei Ohtani homered at their respective first at bats of the game, making history as the first reigning MVPs to hit a home run in the opening inning of the same game. That opening salvo promised a thrilling game, one worthy of its billing as a rematch of last season's World Series. And like in the Fall Classic, the Los Angeles Dodgers came back to defeat the New York Yankees, overturning a three-run deficit at the bottom of the sixth to take an 8-5 win at Dodger Stadium. 'It was a really good start to the game, it was a back and forth between two really good teams and I'm glad we came out at the top,' Ohtani said afterward through interpreter Will Ireton. The Japanese superstar has already scored 60 runs this season, reaching that milestone faster than any other MLB player in the modern era, according to OptaSTATS. 'I feel like he was copying me,' Judge joked afterward, telling reporters about Ohtani's home run just after his own. 'He's impressive. He's one of the best players in the game for a reason; what he can do in the box, on the basepaths, once he gets back on the mound, it's special.' Though Ohtani's homer tied the game, the Yankees displayed their impressively deep offensive line-up with Austin Wells, Trent Grisham, and Paul Goldschmidt all contributing home runs of their own to make it 5-2 after the fifth inning. There was still time for Ohtani to add a second homer to his tally, and he smashed one out to right center field at the bottom of the sixth, sparking a four-run inning that changed the complexion of the game. That homer, Ohtani's league-leading 22nd of the season, marked the first of five consecutive Dodgers hits, loading the bases and making it a high scoring inning. 'With Shohei, he would probably say it's just like any other game,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters afterward. 'But I do think that when you see the reigning MVP on the other side, and going out there and performing, that brings out even more of a competitor in Shohei. And obviously, it brought up a lot of excitement from the fans.' A two-run single from outfielder Andy Pages in seventh inning gave the Dodgers a 8-5 lead, a margin they never relinquished. The two teams next face each other on Saturday.
