Late Friday morning roughly 150 vehicles on Interstate 94 were involved in a chain reaction accident that resulted in at least one dead. According to the Michigan State Police, the chain reaction accident occurred around 10:07 a.m. on I-94 causing the death of a trucker from Ottawa, Canada and an unknown number of people to be injured. Two vehicles were up in flames, including a semi, which caused the freeway to be closed in both directions.
According to a witness, there was a truck carrying fireworks, which were launching and burning at the scene. A bus was brought in order to transport survivors from the crash scene. The weather might have played a tremendous role in the crash, as there was heavy snowfall. Ice-covered roads and snow are being blamed for the numerous crashes around Michigan. Across the state, some districts shut down for the day and many schools are closed.
