MICHIGAN — A portion of Interstate 96 is closed Wednesday morning following a multi-vehicle crash in Cascade Township, according to Michigan State Police.
Troopers said the crash occurred on westbound I-96 at the Whitneyville Highway interchange. Authorities reported that several people were injured, though all injuries were described as minor. The exact number of vehicles involved had not been determined as of Wednesday morning.
Police advised motorists to avoid the area as traffic was being diverted off the freeway. Officials said it was not immediately known how long the roadway would remain closed.
A spokesperson for the Michigan State Police said the crash was likely caused by drivers traveling too fast for icy road conditions. The incident remains under investigation.
