More than 40 vehicles, many of them semitrailers, collided amid whiteout conditions in a massive highway pileup that left three people dead and more than 20 others injured, at least one critically, in northwestern Indiana, police said on Thursday.
The pileup on Interstate 94 eastbound began near Michigan City, about 60 miles from Chicago, according to Indiana State Police, and at least one person was trapped in a vehicle for hours.
I-94 is the main highway heading east from Chicago to Michigan and Indiana, and the main thoroughfare between the nation's third-largest city and Detroit. Traffic was backed up for hours in frigid snowy conditions, though state police said one westbound lane was open late Thursday.
Video from the scene showed semitrailers and mangled passenger vehicles jammed together the width of the highway near an overpass. Some passenger cars were sandwiched in the wreckage.
National Weather Service meteorologist Evan Bentley said a band of heavy lake-effect snow was reported in the area at the time of the crash, dropping one to two inches of snow per hour and reducing visibility to a quarter mile or less _ with some reports of visibility near zero.
