Dozens of vehicles crash in snowy Indiana
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (AP) - February 20, 2008 No serious injuries were reported, state police Sgt. Ann Wojas
said.
Up to 3 inches of snow fell in the area during the night.
Wojas said the midmorning crash involved 10 cars and 12
tractor-trailers about three miles east of the Michigan City exit
on I-94.
"I was coming down that hill there and all of a sudden I saw
all these cars and trucks flaring left and right," Todd Skiles of
Westland, Mich., told The (Michigan City) News-Dispatch.
"Everybody started smashing up. Then I saw this semi coming from
behind. If (the semi driver) wasn't such a great driver, this
could've been a lot worse."
Wojas said at least 70 wrecks were reported Wednesday morning in
her district, which includes interstates 80 and 94, and troopers in
the Muncie-Marion area reported several crashes and slide-offs on
Interstate 69.
"It's due to motorists driving too fast for the road
conditions," state police Sgt. Rod Russell said.
