Although the cause of the I-94 pile up is still being investigated, Michigan State Police point to speed and driver behavior as the primary causes (http://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/...le-up_res.html).

I just found it a little too convenient that you were picking on Michigan drivers when there was just a 90 car pileup in Sandusky last year and two pileups on January 21st of 2013 outside of Cincinnati: a 103 car pileup on I-275 and a 52 car pileup on I-75 at Middleton. I think it's pretty safe to say these places don't get anywhere close to West Michigan weather.

At any rate, I'm glad there weren't more people killed, and I'm super impressed with first responders and the Red Cross.
