Michigan State Police Offering Tips For Drivers After Heavy Snowfall

(CBS Detroit) -- Michigan State Police is offering safe driving tips a day after heavy snowfall on Sunday.

Multiple-vehicle crashes were reported in the Metro Detroit area, leaving several people injured.  MSP says those crashes were also caused by drivers following too close to each other and not being able to react in time.

Authorities recommend giving more distance to drive slow on snow or ice. They also recommend getting an emergency kit with a blanket, water and other essentials if you do get stranded in the cold.

MSP says anything who was involved in any of the crashes Sunday and their vehicle was left on the freeway in Wayne County can contact the Metro South Post at 734-287-5000. Anyone who left their vehicle on a freeway in Oakland and Macomb counties can call Metro North Post at 248-584-5740. Make sure to know the location, license plate number and VIN numbers.
