About 20 people were hospitalized following a fiery pileup involving dozens of vehicles during a snow squall on a Pennsylvania highway
Heavy fog and precipitation from the squall caused a mass pileup of about 40 vehicles on Interstate 81. About 20 people were taken to area hospitals, according to John Blickley, deputy emergency management coordinator for Schuylkill County.Over two dozen fire companies responded to the crash, where multiple vehicles were on fire, Blickley said.The pileup happened shortly after 10:30 a.m. on Monday in the northbound lanes of Interstate 81 near mile marker 116, Blickley said.
A vehicle then comes flying into the wreckage and slams into the black sedan and Moye's car as he screams,"Watch out!"Down the road, huge plumes of smoke flood out of a truck that caught fire, the video shows. Moye was not injured, he told CNN.Other videos show the aftermath of the pileup. Drone footage of the scene shows dozens of cars and trucks pointed in various directions across the road.
