A collision involving multiple vehicles has closed a portion of Interstate 81 in central Pennsylvania.
POTTSVILLE, Pennsylvania -- A collision involving as many as 40 vehicles closed a portion of Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania and sent more than a dozen people to area hospitals on Monday, according to the Schuylkill County Office of Emergency Management.
A message left for a Pennsylvania State Police spokesperson, seeking to confirm the number of injuries or any fatalities, was not immediately returned Monday. The person who posted the video did not immediately respond to requests seeking additional information. People off camera can be heard yelling as the cascade of crashes unfolds with multiple vehicles colliding in less than a minute.
"The squalls will quickly reduce the visibility to under one-half of a mile and coat the roads with snow," forecasters said, urging drivers to get off the road if possible or turn on hazard lights"and gradually slow down to avoid a chain reaction vehicular accident."
