Multiple Crashes Caution Drivers on I-94 and I-96, MSP Issues Warning

Michigan State Police attribute the recent massive pileups on I-94 and I-96 to risky driver behavior rather than weather conditions. Drivers were driving too fast and too closely, not allowing themselves enough space and time to control their vehicles. Although road crews did their part in salting the roads, drivers need to take responsibility for their actions. As winter continues, AAA advises drivers to stay home if possible, drive slowly, accelerate and decelerate slowly, increase following distance, and understand how to use their brakes effectively.
