Massive 100-Vehicle Pileup in Michigan
There was a really big car accident in Michigan on a highway called Interstate 196.
Lots of cars and big trucks, called semi-trucks, were involved.
The police think around 100 vehicles were in the accident, but they're not sure exactly how many.
There are videos from a drone showing all the damaged cars and trucks.
The highway is closed because of the accident.
The police are still figuring out what happened.
Many people got hurt, but no one died.
The accident happened because of a big snowstorm that made it hard to see and drive.

A massive multi-vehicle pileup occurred on Interstate 196 in Michigan, involving an estimated 30-100 vehicles.
Initial reports suggested around 100 vehicles were involved, but Michigan State Police later estimated 30-40 semi-trucks.
