The Detroit Free Press reports that the accident occurred at about 1 a.m. in the southbound lanes of Interstate 90. Officials said that Burhanur B.

Rahman’s three passengers, Shofiul Alom, 20, Nazim Khan, 21, and Rezwan Chowdhury, 21, were all killed in the accident. They were all from Hamtramck and died at the scene.
Both Rahman and the second driver, Richard Hildebrand, 87, were critically injured in the accident and had to be rushed to ECMC for treatment.
