Icy Conditions Cause Several Accidents

Heavy snow is causing problems in areas in and around Pittsburgh.  Accidents south of Fort Pitts Bridge, I-279 and I-376 have been blamed because of slippery and icy roads. All three accidents happened within hours of each other. Roads coming into and out of Pittsburgh are seeing long backups for commuters in the city. Earlier in the afternoon, there was one crash that sent 2 people to the hospital with minor injuries.

Up to five inches of snow is likely in the metro area with heavier pockets of snow likely north of the city. Snow trucks are out in full force and crews are using salt on the primary and secondary roads. Local officials are advising motorists traveling in and out of the city to use caution and plan more time for travel. Earlier in the day there were two reported accidents but no injuries were reported.

9 Remain in Hospital after Pile up

According to the latest count, one person was killed and close to 20 others were injured in a 50 car pileup outside of Nashville, Tennessee. The accident allegedly happened after a car collided into the back of a postal truck early Thursday.

According to initial reports the accident may have happened because of low visibility due to a high density of fog and icy road conditions. The accident which occurred on Vietnam Veterans Parkway in Hendersonville, TN was close to mile long which included more than 120 other vehicles that were able to stop short of the accident.

Emergency vehicles took 17 people to the hospital with back injuries and neck injuries. While most of the injuries were deemed as non life threatening, one person ended up dead and 9 others still remain in the hospital.

After the wreck, around a dozen motorists and passengers exited their vehicles and began looking in other vehicles for possible injuries. According to witnesses, the fog was so thick that they couldn’t see where the accident started or ended.

Local news outlets aired the accident and released a statement that all drivers should precede with caution in and around the Nashville and Hendersonville areas. The fog took several hours to clear out of the area. Emergency crews spent hours removing debris and vehicles from the scene of the accident.

There are no further reports at this time.
