12-car pile-up in Ozaukee County
BELGIUM, Wis. (AP) — Authorities say at least a dozen vehicles were involved in a pileup Sunday on Interstate 43 that shut down the southbound lanes for a time.
Southbound Interstate 43 has been reopened after the multiple crashes, which happened just before noon near the town of Belgium in Ozaukee County.
The Ozaukee County sheriff’s office says there were reports of multiple injuries in the crashes, but it isn’t clear how many.
Authorities say the pileup happened during whiteout conditions. They also reported that the roads in the northern part of Ozaukee County are snow covered and icy.

Cute, but no. Properly treating the roads is how. Other states in the great lakes region can do it. Sheesh, don't be such sheep! Baaahh!

The accident was due to low visibility. I'm not sure what the state can do about that. Lots of big wind tunnel fans on the side of the road?

If they would just treat the roads PROPERLY. This state has blood on it's hands from the numerous accidents it could have PREVENTED!
