At least three people were killed in an enormous pileup crash involving more than 50 cars on a stretch of Interstate 81 (I-81) northbound in Pennsylvania on Monday as snow squalls caused whiteout conditions, according to reports.
Police said over two dozen additional victims were conveyed to hospitals via ambulance or helicopter as a result of the crash, according to WBRE/WYOU.
