Over 100 crashes reported in Southeast Michigan as winter storm sweeps through
A couple of rounds of snow moving through Southeast Michigan this weekend is creating slick road conditions.
According to Michigan State Police, there have been at least 114 crashes across the region since midnight Saturday. Most were one-car spinouts caused by motorists allegedly driving too fast.
Authorities say no one has been seriously injured in the crashes.
CBS News Detroit reporters tracking road conditions Sunday afternoon noticed several tow trucks and police vehicles and ambulances responding to crashes.
All lanes on southbound Southfield Freeway near Oakwood Boulevard were blocked by police at 1 p.m. for what appeared to be a crash.
Gusty winds in the afternoon and evening may cause drifting snow and low visibility on roads.
Officials are asking motorists to slow down and leave extra room for other vehicles.
According to the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning, it can take up to 10 times longer for motorists to stop vehicles on snowy or icy roads than it does on dry roads.
