100+ CAR PILEUP: I-196 shut down after over a hundred cars crash amid winter blast in Michigan

Описание: Both directions of I-196 reopened after an over 100 car pileup and several jackknifed semi trucks injured between nine and 12 people on Monday.

A multi-car pileup formed on west I-196 from 32nd Avenue to 64th Street just after 10:20 a.m., evolving into an over 100 car pileup including multiple jackknifed semi trucks, and an estimated 30 to 40 semi trucks involved overall, causing a complete closure of I-196 heading west and east for about 10 miles from Zeeland, Mich. to Hudsonville, Mich., according to Ottawa County Sheriff's Office and Michigan State Police.

All injured people were taken to the hospital. Deputies said there were between nine and 12 injuries, all nonfatal.

Buses from Hudsonville High School and Max Transit took stranded motorists from the crash site, where winds were recorded up to 40 mph with 6 to 12 inches of snow forecasted, to Hudsonville High School.
