A Michigan highway was shut down for several hours due to a large pileup caused by slippery roads and whiteout conditions.

The pileup occurred near mile marker 17 on southbound US-131, around 1 p.m.

According to WZZM, the road was blasted with an inch of lake-effect snow.

Firefighters believe more than 80 vehicles were involved in the slippery highway wreck.

The highway was reopened around 6 p.m. There were several reported injuries, however none are believed to be serious.
