Thank first responders · 2 people

sometimes it's not the driver it's the weather has been horrible and they can only do so much as professional drivers

People need to slow the duck down and stay in your lane. Just cuz there is not 6 inches of snow on freeway does not mean that it’s not slippery. Leave earlier and be patient. It’s not worth a life or injury to be in a rush

michigan has a storied history with horrible drivers. who taught these idiots.

guessing the semi driver obtained CDL in Cali.

I'm sorry to hear that we need spring time
