4 dead, 17 injured after semi-crash into multiple vehicles along I-96 in Michigan

Police say it happened around 11:42 p.m., when traffic was backed up and a tractor-trailer with a trailer came into stopped traffic. It appears the truck driver did not see the backup and was unable to stop the truck in time.

He was in the left lane and hit numerous vehicles. The impact caused the truck and several vehicles to catch fire.

I-96 was closed for a short time so crews could pull power lines across the highway, and troopers had just completed the closure when the crash occurred.

According to police, around fifteen vehicles were involved, including the semi-trailer.

Police said the highway would be closed in both directions for an indefinite period.
