KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — Wednesday was another rough day of driving on I-94 west of Kalamazoo. Several crashes forced Michigan State Police to shut down east and westbound lanes of the highway at various times throughout the day.
Driving along I-94 through Kalamazoo, Van Buren and Berrien counties, it didn’t take long to see why the stretch of highway has such a bad reputation: There were jackknifed semi-trucks, slide-offs and traffic backups as far as you can see.
It’s a common problem on I-94 in the winter. 1st Lt. Dale Hinz, the commander of MSP’s Paw Paw Post, said about 50 cars were involved in series of pileups and crashes on I-94 between Kalamazoo and Lawrence on New Year’s Eve.
