She told the Lansing State Journal that a semi-truck jackknifed across the expressway and several vehicles ended up in ditches or smashed. She was not involved in the crash.
“For me, the most horrifying sounds I’ve ever heard was the sound of semi-truck tires skidding on the ice behind me and I had nowhere to go because traffic was at a standstill,” Gray told the Lansing State Journal in an email. “Fortunately, he was able to stop before plowing into me.”
The Michigan Department of Transportation warned motorists around ten a.m. that a crash had closed all westbound lanes of Interstate ninety six in Livingston County. The crash, which originally involved only three vehicles, happened at the Fowlerville Road exit.
Fowlerville is about thirty miles east of Michigan’s capitol, Lansing.

Butler County GOP to recommend Statehouse replacement Thursday
Published: Tuesday, September 05, two thousand seventeen @ Three:30 PM
By: Michael D. Pitman – Staff Writer
The presumptive front-runner in the race to substitute Ohio Rep. Margy Conditt in Columbus will be known Thursday evening.
That`s when the Butler County GOP will make its endorsement on the candidate to succeed Conditt, R-Liberty Twp., as the representative for the state`s 52nd House District signifying Fairfield, Liberty and West Chester townships, and the Butler County portion of Sharonville.
Seven people had sent in resumes and letters of interest to Ohio Speaker of the House Cliff Rosenberger, who formed a screening panel after Conditt announced her resignation. But only five are seeking the county GOP`s endorsement. They are:
- Ann Becker, 41, of West Chester Twp.
- Jeff Kursman, 46, of Liberty Twp.
- George Lang, 55, of West Chester Twp.
- Anu Mital, 34, of Liberty Twp.
- Lee Wong, 65, of West Chester Twp.
Candidates John Haberer, 53, of West Chester Twp., and Grace Kendrick, 51, of West Chester Twp., 51, did not request the party`s endorsement, according to the Butler County GOP.
A county political party`s endorsement, or a recommendation, does not ensure an appointment, just as it was the case in the Middletown Municipal Judge race. A contingent of the GOP`s Central Committee that represent the party in the municipal court district recommended local attorney James Sherron to substitute the late Judge Mark Wall on the bench until the November election.
However, Ohio Gov. John Kasich in May chose Melynda Cook Howard instead.
Rosenberger has appointed six of the ninety nine members of the Ohio House, including Ohio Rep. Candice Keller, R-Middletown, who went on to win the November two thousand sixteen general election and was sworn-in to the seat vacated by former Rep. Tim Derickson, R-Hanover Twp., earlier in 2016.
Four of the six current members appointed to an Ohio House seat were packed by candidates who had already won either a primary or general election, said Brad Miller, spokesman for the Ohio Speaker`s office.
«While county parties have the right to endorse certain applicants to pack open seats, the screening panel assembled in the House assesses every applicant identically based on an individual`s qualifications before making a determination,» Miller said.
The two previous times a screening panel was assembled in order to make an appointment, county Republican parties did not issue endorsements of any particular applicant, he said.
The timing of Conditt`s resignation «is most likely a good thing for the Republican Party,» said Miami University political science professor John Forren. «It gives party leaders an chance to vet potential replacements within the party – and the party`s choice can then run in the next election with all of the advantages of incumbency.»
Conditt`s replacement will have more than a year in office before running for election in November 2018.
However, Forren said this provides «an interesting chance» for Butler County Democrats despite the district, and the county, being a Republican stronghold since the 1970s.
«Historical trends and latest polling suggest that two thousand eighteen may be a good year for Democrats generally – and if the Democrats locally can recruit a strong candidate to run against the freshly appointed representative next year, it could prove to be a more competitive race than many might suspect,» he said.
