Ann Arbor — A state official said a fatal crash in Ann Arbor came during an expressway backup caused by a highway sign repair.

The crash Saturday morning on eastbound Interstate 94 killed Sean Desmarais, 43, of Ann Arbor and injured two 18-year-olds from Minnesota.

Michigan Department of Transportation manager Mark Sweeney said traffic on the expressway stopped while work crews replaced a sign near U.S. 23.
