Both sides of Interstate 94 in southwestern Michigan remain closed as crews deal with equipment problems while removing acid and tow away vehicles stuck in an extraordinary pileup on the snowy highway.
State Police First Lt. James Coleman says problems encountered while removing acid from a tanker truck are delaying the reopening of the interstate in Kalamazoo County, 150 miles east of Chicago.
The number of vehicles involved in crashes Friday has fluctuated. State police now say there were 193, including dozens of semis. A trucker from Ottawa, Canada, was killed and about two dozen people were taken to hospitals.
Lt. Dale Hinz (HINS) says the work has been "brutal," with overnight temperatures barely above zero. A truck carrying fireworks caught fire, triggering a spectacular explosion of the cargo Friday.
