A new study finds curved roads are especially dangerous when it snows. There were more than 128,000 crashes on curved roads during winter weather between 2018 and 2022 in Michigan. In 175 of those crashes, people died or were seriously injured. Nearly 1,400 people suffered less serious injuries. That’s why MSU is proposing a solution using LED lights, and they’re studying it in Northern Michigan. Timothy Gates, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at MSU, joined Local 4 Live to talk more about the research. aquqkWnrdOh cD4da3BfC3u pASt0mrUsAD b8m0US4aeXh scau0pXrSvm 2hxjxmMp7Um
