Michigan drivers are the frickin worst. Coming home today from Detroit it was a complete white out on US-23 and people were flying past me doing 65-70. No surprise that soon a 40 car pileup happened

193 cars ended up being the final tally, I believe.

And that's amazing seeing how fast some were hitting. Good example of why you DON'T want to be driving between two semis in those conditions, but I wouldn't want to drive beside them, either.

I wonder if some sort of safety feature to activate brake lights or emergency flashers could reduce this. Figure when the car wrecks, there are no brake lights or possibly any lights and it becomes invisible in those conditions.

As for the fireworks, that was a great finale (although the video appears to loop the same 30 seconds or so several times).

Horrible. That kind of thing is scary and can happen when weather conditions are just right (yes, even here in Ohio).

I'm almost positive something very similar happened on 480 at one point last winter.

Crazy how they apparently didnt see the wreck at all. It didnt look like whiteout conditions?
