  Rollover Accident Westbound I-94

   

  Kalamazoo, MI:  At approximately 0915hrs Kalamazoo Public Safety began taking several calls about a rollover accident involving a semi-truck and a van on Westbound I-94 near Sprinkle. Public Safety Officers and apparatus begin responding to the call immediately; while in enroute dispatchers received more calls stating another semi-truck had jackknife in the same area. Public Safety began using area resources to handle both situations. No serious injuries were reported.

   

  At this time, we would ask motorist to avoid Westbound I-94 between Sprinkle Rd. and Portage until this situation clears. Due to the weather and icy conditions motorist should avoid the roads if possible, if you have to drive leave early and take your time.
