ALGER COUNTY, MI-- Poor weather conditions caused an eight-vehicle crash on M-28 between Munising and Marquette, prompting its closure.
Officials shut down the stretch Wednesday around 12:30 p.m. because of blowing snow and zero visibility.
Munising Police say the multiple-vehicle accident happened between Christmas and Munising. Tow trucks apparently had a difficult time getting to the scene because of bad conditions. Most of the vehicles sustained only minor damage and were able to drive away.
M-28 will remain closed until conditions improve.
