KALAMAZOO COUNTY, Mich. — Michigan State Police are investigating an eight-vehicle crash on I-94 near Sprinkle Road in Kalamazoo, that involved a military vehicle, a semi-truck, and several passenger vehicles.
MSP Fifth District says investigators believe the driver of the military vehicle lost control when moving into a different lane around 7:50 a.m. Monday, striking a semi-truck. Three vehicles were then hit by the semi, causing a chain reaction that hit three more vehicles.
A 10-year-old child was seriously injured in the crash, and was sent to Bronson Methodist Hospital Monday. MSP says the child is stable. Other people involved in the crash only had minor injuries.
