Winter weather caused multiple crashes and a 30-car pileup on US-23 in Genesee County Thursday morning – shutting down all lanes of the freeway.

The Genesee County Sheriff’s Office reported that both northbound and southbound US-23 were closed near Baldwin Road in Mundy Township.

Separately, northbound US-23 was closed at Thompson Road in the Fenton area due to a crash. That scene was cleared at around 12:45pm.

Both directions of US-23 re-opened to traffic around 1pm.
