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. O5iFGJEDM3K qCS6czmx6Bq iMicNDocLA9 PlqjdFnC5uF d3kL3xPWUv1 QIcIbBFH9yz
