A video uncovered on YouTube tonight captures the scene of a 193-vehicle pile-up on a Michigan freeway earlier today. The entire freeway had to be shut down when all the cars and trucks went off-road along a snowy I-94.

According to Michigan State Police, one trucker was killed in the pile-up and several were injured. One of the trucks was carrying fireworks, and at one point they went off, setting the truck on fire.

Vehicle after vehicle crashed into each other, extending “hundreds of yards” on the freeway. Several hospitals have been taking care of the injured victims. While some of the vehicles burned, the police asked for people within a one-mile radius of the scene to stay inside if they hadn’t already evacuated.
