GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Michigan State Police say several people were hurt after multiple vehicles were involved in a crash on US-131 early Saturday morning, saying road ice and speed played a factor.

Troopers from the MSP Grand Rapids Post responded to the US-131 crash south of Burton Street around 1:30 A.M. Saturday. Investigators believe a black BMW was driving too fast on the icy road, and crashed. Several vehicles also lost control and collided.

MSP says a Life EMS ambulance stopped at the scene with its lights on was also hit. Multiple people were hurt, but officials believe there were no life-threatening injuries.

Work to clear the scene took first responders an hour and a half, and it has since reopened.

MSP is reminding drivers to drive with extra caution on slick roads.
