In addition to numerous cars, several trucks are also involved in the accident.
(dpa) During a snow flurry in the American state of Pennsylvania, there was a devastating mass collision on a freeway.
A police spokesman said on Twitter that several people were injured when 50 to 60 vehicles crashed into each other on Interstate 81 in the Schuylkill County. Several vehicles caught fire. Local media such as the “WKOK” broadcaster reported fatalities, which the police initially did not confirm.
A video showed how a truck crashed into a stationary truck at high speed in poor visibility. Other images showed numerous cars and trucks that had become wedged into each other or had veered off the freeway.
