This seems fake but it's real:

This happened Monday morning around 10:20 on I-196 between Holland and Grand Rapids, Michigan. The highway had to be closed in both directions between Hudsonville and Zeeland and "will likely remain that way for several hours," according to authorities.

Fortunately, none of the crashes have been fatal. However, several injuries have been reported.

The Region 6 Healthcare Coalition said in a statement reported by WOOD TV8,

This large-scale event prompted a swift and coordinated medical response from emergency medical services (EMS) and hospitals across the region.

You know it's a big accident when you're getting a response from "hospitals across the region."

A winter weather advisory was in effect during the pileup, but that happens a bit too often around those parts to halt your Monday commute, apparently.

Southwestern Michigan drivers, you are in my prayers today and I hope you all can find a ride home.

I'll leave you my favorite comment before I go:
