Southern Michigan 193 Vehicle Pileup

Here is a video that shows the chaotic scenes that unfolding during a 193-vehicle pileup on Interstate 94 near Kalamazoo, Michigan this past Friday.

A round of blinding snow was blamed for the awful crash.  Often times we hear of slick roads, and rightfully so, however, very heavy wintry precipitation can lead to very poor visibility.  The combination of the two result in horrific traveling conditions.

Here is another crazy video that captured the explosions of multiple fireworks one Semi was carrying.

This is one example of how snow can have on the roads. Unfortunately, one fatality was reported from this pileup.
