Metro Detroit received its first snow of the season this week and there were more than 100 crashes in the area.
Over the last 24 hours, there have been approximately 150 preventable crashes across Metro Detroit, according to Michigan State Police.
Four patrol cars were hit while troopers were investigating the crashes.
State police say that many of the drivers were following vehicles too close, and driving too fast for the conditions.
“Unfortunately, we still have some flurries out there,” said state police in a social media post. “So we will say it again, weather doesn’t cause crashes, drivers do.”
Snow flurries are possible and high temperatures in the 20s are expected across Southeast Michigan throughout the weekend.
