MUSKEGON, Mich. -- Eighty-six vehicles were involved in a weather-related pileup Sunday on U.S. 31 in Muskegon County, police said.
No one was seriously hurt, but 25 people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries, WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids reported.
The chain-reaction crash occurred about 1 p.m., when the highway was covered with black ice and lake-effect snow created whiteout conditions, police said. Some drivers began slowing down, and they were rear-ended by cars behind them that were unable to stop.
Several cars caught fire, and one woman panicked as she tried to get her infant son out of the car, witness Laurie Devries said.
"Her car was on fire and she couldn't get out, so she just passed the baby through the window," Devries said. "We kind of got him up to the hill and helped some other people out of their car."
A two-mile stretch of the highway was closed for several hours as authorities cleared the wreckage.
Muskegon police said they did not expect to issue any citations because it appeared everyone was driving as well as they could under the conditions.
The National Weather Service said moderate to heavy lake-effect snow showers were expected along U.S. 31 through midnight Sunday. Two to 4 inches of snow were expected by Monday morning in Muskegon county near the highway. Only light snow showers were expected farther inland.

Ok, I give people crap about tailgating... this is precisely WHY you should not tail gate.
Kind of cool that Muskegon made Fox News!
