YIKES! Fierce winter storm causes 100-car #pileup, brings #snow and #DeepFreeze to #Midwest, #Northeast
Updated on: January 19, 2026
Excerpt: "A sudden lake effect snow storm resulted in a stretch of dozens of wrecked vehicles along the side of the highway near #GrandRapids, @Michigan, and the same arctic weather pattern has brought unusually frigid weather to as far south as #Florida.
"Several people were injured on Monday after more than 100 vehicles, including as many as 40 tractor-trailers, piled up in western Michigan due to intense snowfall wreaking havoc on the roads across the Great Lakes, local officials said. None of the injuries were life-threatening, the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office said.
" 'It was absolute chaos,' said Stephanie Biesboer, who was caught in the pileup. 'Everyone was everywhere. People out of their cars. People rushing around trying to get the ambulances through."
"The I-196 in #ZeelandTownship was expected to be closed for several hours for the removal and clean up of vehicles, CBS Detroit reported.
"The crash is the latest impact of the major winter storm moving across the country. Some areas along the Great Lakes saw at least 9 inches of snow, according to CBS News meteorologist Rob Marciano. Forecasters warned Monday that freezing temperatures are possible overnight into Tuesday across much of north-central Florida and southeast Georgia."
