Michigan State Police have called in additional personnel to help with the response to the crashes on the highways. MSP encourages drivers to slow down in this weather and allow extra space for the vehicle in front of you.

Along with the MSP cruisers, a truck from Comstock Fire and Rescue was hit while attending a crash scene on I-94.

So far there have been several multiple-vehicle pile-ups, including on I-96 near Alpine Avenue that closed the freeway for hours.
