22-vehicle pileup closes I-94 in northwest Indiana

A six-mile stretch of westbound Interstate 94 in northern Indiana was closed early today after a chain-reaction wreck involving nearly two dozen vehicles, police said.

No serious injuries were reported, Indiana State Police Sgt. Ann Wojas said.

Up to 3 inches of snow fell in the area overnight, and more was expected during the day.

Wojas said the midmorning crash involved 10 cars and 12 semi trucks about three miles east of the Michigan City exit on I-94.

Wojas said at least 70 wrecks were reported Wednesday morning in her district, which includes interstates 80 and 94.

"It's due to motorists driving too fast for the road conditions," state police Sgt. Rod Russell said.
