Michigan State Troopers are investigating a collision that occurred when a woman lost control of her vehicle.

The incident occurred on Tuesday at around 7:30 a.m. on eastbound I-94 near mile marker 54 in Lawrence Township.

The driver told police officers that she veered out of her lane when she was blinded by the sun.

The woman then hit a semi truck that was headed in the same direction. The impact from that collision sent her crashing into a guardrail on the right side of the highway.

Her vehicle then careened back onto the roadway and collided with the truck a second time.  The semi truck lost control and wound up in a ditch.

The damage was extensive.
