VAN BUREN COUNTY, Mich. (WZZM) -- Eastbound I-94 has opened again after being closed near Mattawan for a multi-vehicle accident.

Michigan State Police said the crash was reported around 1:30 p.m. Friday near exit 66. An eastbound semi driven by a 51-year-old Nevada man rear-ended a Chicago couple's black Cadillac. The Cadillac was pushed into a red Pontiac Grand Am driven by a 51-year-old Paw Paw woman. The semi then veered into the right lane and rear-ended another semi driven by a 38-year-old Coopersville man.

The driver of the Cadillac was pronounced dead at Bronson Lakeview Hospital in Paw Paw, and the passenger is in serious condition. The at-fault semi driver is also in serious condition.

At the time of the crash, traffic on that stretch of freeway had been slowed or stopped by a grass fire in the median east of the scene. Investigators said drivers need to stay alert as traffic conditions change.

Shortly after 3:30 p.m., MDOT tweeted that all lanes of eastbound I-94 had opened again.
 
Traffic was very slow right there for Fire Trucks on the side of the highway. The Neveda semi driver made no attempt to slow down. I feel bad for him, He probably was 'sleep driving'.
