I was driving on I-94 towards Indiana and was just passing through Kalamazoo MI. I noticed my Toyota CH-R start to get a little squirrely on the road, so I slowed a bit the moved from the left lane to the middle lane. This Semi- truck decided to pass me... Well, about 1/2 mile down the road, he fishtailed and ended up like this in front of me. He dumped about 40 gallons of diesel and caught on fire for about 30 seconds (but extinguished by itself). Closed the highway for about 3.5 hours. This happened at 11:30am EST. We reached our destination (Lafayette Indiana) at 9:30pm. Such a long day. 7Toes, Crack, baldie and 5 others 3 1 4 Awards

The passing lane. It was a sheet of ice. Dumbass driver took a chance and failed. There was diesel on the ground (Hazmat) called. D.O.T. showed up to assess the condition of the highway, 2 tow trucks showed up, but only 1 was used. There were sparks from a battery cable that was shorting out and everyone was worried about something catching fire... I got paid , just was a long days drive.

I come thru your area from Ohio on US23 heading up to Au Gres quite often. With the heavy traffic there in AA, I dont understand why they have a perfectly good lane(s) closed almost all the time. Do you know WTF are they saving them for? Awards

During the mornings, they open it up to aid traffic flow to AA. It is also an emergency lane if there happens to be an accident in any of the other 2 lanes (traffic can still flow). Au Gres ? That's wayyyyy up there. It is extremely rare that we go up north. I am at the airport all too often these days. I travel about 35 to 40% of the year. Purfy, The guy was driving way too fast for the road conditions. He rounded a curve and jack-knifed. Driving on ice slicked roads is a skill that some of us have and others don't. The best thing to do with little to no traction is to slow down and give small, smooth steering inputs. Hunter1948 1 Awards
