GALESBURG, MI (WTVB) – The Michigan State Police have completed their investigation of the largest snow related chain reaction collision in Michigan History on I-94 in January near Galesburg and concluded what we reported last month. It wasn’t the constriction of the roadway, or the “Galesburg Triangle”, it was human error, given the poor visibility and road conditions that resulted in the 193 vehicle.
Lt. Dale Hinz says based on their exhaustive recreation of the collisions, they are issuing 58 tickets to both commercial and private drivers for driving too fast for conditions. They will also be citing a handful of drivers for other violations. State Police have just mailed the tickets.
There was some question, because there was a death involved, if more serious charges might be sought against any drivers who contributed to that fatality, but that is not the case.
