Michigan State Police says another accident on I-96 at US-131 also involves multiple vehicles. Road conditions are poor with the single-digit temperatures making salt ineffective at melting any snow or ice on the pavement.

The wind is also blowing snow, making it tough to see far enough ahead to be driving at the posted speed limit. MSP warns drivers to take it slow.
