FOX 17 WXMI A brutal winter storm unleashed havoc on a Michigan highway after whiteout conditions triggered a massive chain-reaction crash involving more than 100 vehicles. The pileup included at least 30 lorries and unfolded as the storm blanketed large swaths of the state with heavy snow and high winds. Drone footage shared by Fox Weather showed Interstate 196 buried under snow near Grand Rapids, with jack-knifed trucks and cars scattered across lanes and shoulders. Winds of up to 40 miles per hour were recorded at the crash site, where snowfall topped a foot. One driver said visibility collapsed almost entirely as snow blew sideways across the roadway. “I could barely see the road in front of me,” the driver said. Michigan State Police shut down the motorway in both directions while crews worked to clear the wreckage. Authorities reported numerous injuries but no deaths. “It was a little scary just listening to everything, the bangs and booms behind you,” truck driver Pedro Mata Jr told the Associated Press, saying he avoided crashing by pulling off the road. As snow continued to fall, stranded passengers were bused to a nearby high school. The storm was part of a wider system that sent temperatures plunging nationwide, with rare snowfall reported as far south as the Florida Panhandle. Read it at FOX 17 WXMI Read more at The Daily Beast.
