KALAMAZOO COUNTY, Mich. — A chain-reaction crash on westbound I-94 Thursday ended up involving six vehicles, and police say high speeds, tailgating, and weather were all factors in the accident.
The crash happened at about 8:00 p.m. near the Oakland Drive exit, according to Portage police. It started when a pickup truck lost control and struck the median barrier. Two other vehicles side-swiped each other trying to avoid the truck. Then, a semi came to a stop to try and avoid all of it, but was then struck from behind by another vehicle. A final pickup truck lost control while also trying to avoid the chaos, left the road, and rolled over.
Three people suffered minor injuries.
At roughly 9:30 p.m. the highways reopened, according to MDOT.
