I-94 completely open

KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI (AP)--   Authorities say all lanes have reopened on Interstate 94 in southwestern Michigan three days after the 193-vehicle pileup on the snowy highway. 

State transportation officials say the eastbound lanes reopened Sunday morning, a few hours after those on the westbound side.

Efforts to reopen the highway stalled Saturday as crews tried to remove acid from a tanker truck.

It was one of the many vehicles involved in the Friday morning pileup, which killed a 57-year-old trucker from Quebec. About two dozen people were taken to hospitals.

A truck carrying fireworks caught fire, triggering an explosion. That driver wasn't hurt.
