At the time of the crash, the male driver was under investigation for alleged sexual conversations with minors online, the station reported, citing sources.
A group called the Preditorial Investigation Unit, described as a vigilante group that exposes child sex predators, reportedly confronted him two days earlier after the group posed as a 13-year-old girl in an online chat. The report said the group had given evidence to Allen Park police.
