Multi-vehicle crash on I-80 kills at least two
Saturday, February 25, 2012
At least two people were killed in a multi-vehicle, chain-reaction crash on Interstate 80 in Venango County this afternoon during a whiteout.
The interstate was closed for a 10-mile stretch, from mile marker 32 to 42 after the crash about 2:20 p.m., said county 911 supervisor Mary Beth White.
"We actually had multiple calls at multiple mile markers within two seconds of each other," she said.
Ms. White believes at least 20 vehicles were involved -- sliding both into each other and into the median. Officers on the scene are still checking for patients, and at least six people are reported injured.
The highway is expected to be closed into the evening, Ms. White said.
