"This is ridiculous," Moye can be heard saying, adding later: "I need to get the f--- off the road. This is crazy!" John Blickley, the Schuylkill County Office of Emergency Management’s deputy coordinator, said a snow squall clouded visibility and likely contributed to the crash. Blickley said emergency personnel from four different counties took about 20 patients to area hospitals for treatment. Three tractor-trailers carrying unknown cargo were on fire when emergency personnel arrived and some smaller vehicles were also on fire, he said.
A screengrab from video shows the fiery scene of the pileup along Interstate 81 on March 28, 2022, near Minersville, Pennsylvania. "All it takes is one person to crash into something and you have to pull off the road, but when you continue to drive at highway speed, this is what happens," he said.
