Michigan State Police are turning to the community in hopes of identifying an unidentified woman discovered injured on the I-96 ramp to Greenfield Road in Detroit. CBS News Detroit reports that authorities responded to the scene yesterday around 10:10 p.m. after receiving a report of a woman on the ground alongside the highway.
Upon arrival, troopers found a woman in her 30s, who was face down and semi-coherent. With an abrasion on her left hip and road rash on her back, the woman's injuries suggested she had been sliding along the pavement, according to FOX 2 Detroit. Accident or assault, the specifics of how she ended up injured are not yet clear. Yet discovered by the police, none of the witnesses reported seeing the woman being hit by a vehicle.
The search for her identity continues as she remains anonymous while receiving medical care. Described as weighing about 130 pounds and standing between 5 feet, 1 inch to 5 feet, 3 inches tall, she might be recognized by a distinctive light red or pink wig she may have recently worn. ClickOnDetroit mentioned no photo of the woman was shared by the authorities, adding a layer of complexity to her identification.
Michigan State Police are asking anyone with information about the woman or the incident leading to her injuries to come forward. Offering a direct line for potential leads, state police can be reached at 734-287-5000. Providing crucial information, whether it be the slightest detail about her identity or observations from that night, could potentially pave the path to understanding the circumstances of her precarious state found by the highway ramp.
