Fireworks Spark Tragedy in 200 Car Pile-up

Galesburg, Michigan As we often remind our readers, fireworks can be hazardous even when being transported. This proved true over the weekend when some 200 vehicles were involved in a fatal pileup along a snow-covered I-94 between Kalamzoo and Galesburg, Michigan.

One of the trucks involved in the accident was transporting fireworks. Fires sparked by the collisions caused the truck to burst in a series of aerial explosions. In the end, the accident resulted in one fatality with over two dozen people injured, including two firefighters who responded to the scene.
