Weather conditions reportedly got bad fast, cutting visibility and causing a number of cars to hit the barrier dividing the eastbound and westbound lanes. Others that couldn’t stop in time ended up rear-ending the cars in front of them. One man also reportedly got out of his car to clear some of the wreckage, allowing some drivers to get out of the pileup. Emergency crews set up a warming and family reunification center at a nearby church and used buses to transport the people who were involved in crashes.

We’re definitely glad that no one was seriously injured in the pileup and that emergency crews were able to rescue everyone. This is also a good reminder that even if you’re an experienced winter driver, weather conditions can always change, and there’s no guarantee that other drivers are paying attention. Stay safe out there, and keep your head on a swivel even as the weather slowly starts to warm up.
