On January 12, 2005, dense fog blanketed lower Michigan. Numerous highway accidents near Lansing killed two people and damaged almost 200 vehicles. At least 37 people were injured. One pileup involved 50 vehicles and necessitated the closure of 12 miles of Interstate 96 between Okemos and Webberville.
I remember that incident so well... and my dad's lateness made us nervous as we knew he was heading home on I-96 from Detroit that afternoon.
