Kyle Skuta, 26, Dies After Single-Vehicle Crash on I-94 in Kimball Township

 Kyle Skuta, 26, of Port Huron, Michigan, died after a single-vehicle crash on eastbound Interstate 94 in Kimball Township late Saturday night, Sept. 19, 2026. The crash ended a young life and left family, friends and others who knew Skuta facing an unexpected loss. Details released by authorities describe a rollover in the ditch, while the investigation remains underway. The late-night response involved several local emergency agencies, but no additional victims or vehicles were reported.

St. Clair County Central Dispatch received reports at about 11:42 p.m. that a vehicle had left the right side of eastbound I-94 between Wadhams Road and Gratiot Road. Around the same time, an iPhone crash alert was received from the same area, helping indicate that a serious event had occurred along the interstate. The crash alert arrived near the dispatch call, adding another indication that a serious event had occurred.

Deputies with the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office, Kimball Township Fire and Tri-Hospital EMS responded to the area. They found a single vehicle in the east-side ditch with apparent rollover damage. Skuta was the only occupant, according to the information released about the crash, and responders found him partially ejected and trapped beneath the vehicle. Investigators will examine the vehicle and scene as they reconstruct what happened before it left the interstate.

Skuta was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said no other vehicles are believed to have been involved, making the crash a single-vehicle event based on the information available so far. The circumstances that caused the vehicle to leave the roadway have not been fully established, and the St. Clair County Crash Investigation Team is continuing to examine what happened. The available information does not establish a complete sequence of events before the vehicle left the roadway.

Investigators have said speed and alcohol are believed to have been factors in the crash. Those statements reflect the authorities’ current assessment rather than a final determination of every circumstance surrounding the collision. The investigation is expected to provide additional clarity about the events leading up to the rollover and the factors that contributed to it. Preliminary assessments can change as investigators review evidence and complete their work during the investigation.

For those who knew Skuta, the circumstances surrounding his death are only one part of the story. He was 26 and from Port Huron, and his death leaves behind memories held by relatives, friends and other people whose lives he touched. The available account does not provide broader details about his career, interests or personal history, so those parts of his life are best remembered through the people who knew him directly. Those details were not included in the available account, so assumptions about his background would be inappropriate or personal history.

As the investigation continues, Skuta’s death remains a deeply personal loss for those closest to him. The crash on I-94 brought an abrupt end to his life, while the people who loved him are left with memories of the years they shared. His family, friends and loved ones now face the difficult process of grieving a young man whose life mattered to them and whose absence will be felt in the days ahead. For those closest to him, the central reality is that Kyle Skuta is gone and his absence will be felt.
