>> One of the crashes involved a truck trailer that caught fire after another vehicle drove underneath it. It is unknown what was being transported in the trailer, but footage shows boxes strewn along the highway.

Weather forecasts warned of icy roads and snow squalls; local police said that these conditions contributed to the crash. Lt. Jerry Maslan, a state police spokesman, said that many vehicles on the road were driving in excess of the 75 mph speed limit. Multiple injuries have been reported, but no fatalities.<<
​

Once again, that said, "driving in excess of the 75 mph speed limit".
In snow.

And once again that said a vehicle drove underneath a semi.

Insane! 25 mph in snow is the sensible speed to travel. Icy roads means pull over and wait it out. Sure, your SUV can do 75 mph in snow and ice but it will take 75 times further to stop too.

I wish one of them was me. I needed a reason to call in sick today.

A tapped-out and disgruntled tow truck driver probably shot out the lead car's tire.

I'd like to see video of the fat ones crawling out their windows when their doors were pinned shut by others in the pile....

Living in the area...it was a squall. It went from flurries (barely a dusting had fallen) to total white-out in <60 seconds.

Those big rig drivers can be nuts at times. Last winter we made a lot of trips to Michigan, at night, in the snow.
I could barely see the front of the Jeep, snow blowing sideways, going 35-40 when the 18 wheelers passed me doing at least 60. Dayum.

Visibility in snow is actually MUCH better from a large truck...the combination of height and much less glare (in my work truck, I am almost 5' above the headlights) is a huge help.
