40-50 cars and semi's were involved.....the highway was closed for hours. Most of the highway was compact snow and ice, but this elevated section was frozen solid and the chain reaction accident occurred when the cars and trucks hit the ice.
Fortunately there were only minor injuries and no one was killed.
The North Puget Sound area was walloped with snow overnight and most of the schools were closed in the Everett and Snohomish area. We had a lot of snow flurries down here, but fortunately it didn't stick, although I did drive part of the way home in near-whiteout conditions, last night.
Oh My Gosh!!! March is coming in like a Lion isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... there by the grace of G-d no one was killed... oh my goodness.

That overpass would scare me on a good day, never mind with snow....
ReplyDeleteThat drop - it's the stuff of nightmares.
ReplyDeleteSee, if the UK had THAT amount of snow, the whole country would just stop - completely! Glad to hear everyone was in tact at the end of it.
ReplyDeleteWOW! and i thought our 35 car pile up due to snow (on the highway) was bad! i guess they get worse.
