Ice Pelts Northeast, Triggering Bridge Closures, Accidents
Greetings,
Ice Pelts Northeast, Triggering Bridge Closures, Accidents
Icy rain pelted parts of the Northeast on Sunday, triggering dangerous conditions that led to a fatal 60- vehicle pile-up in Pennsylvania, the closure of several bridges in the region and more than 400 accidents in New Jersey.

At least one person was killed and 30 people were injured in the pile-up on Interstate 76 in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, state police said. Three more people died in crashes in the state because of extremely slick roads, according to NBC Philadelphia. State emergency officials warned later Sunday that many roads were shut due to dangerous conditions or accidents in a nearly 200-mile stretch surrounding Philadelphia.
Several bridges were also shuttered as crews worked to salt the slippery arteries, the Delaware River Port Authority said.
“Stay home,” New Jersey State Police warned on Twitter, noting in a separate tweet that 428 accidents had been reported.
Ice also hampered travel in Connecticut, where several main roads were closed and an 88-year-old woman was killed in a crash in New Haven, according to police.
Icy conditions in New York City, as well as in areas north and west, didn’t improve until it got warmer in the afternoon, according to NBC New York. But melting ice and ongoing rain prompted the National Weather Service to issue a flood warning in six New York counties, within and surrounding New York City.
A swath from Pennsylvania up to Maine was under a freezing rain advisory, according to the National Weather Service. Most of the areas spanning the eight northeastern states could expect up to an inch of rain by the end of Sunday, according to Weather.com.
Meanwhile, ice and heavy fog set off a pile-up involving 70 cars and 17 semi-trailers on Saturday night, according to Oregon State Police. At least 12 people were injured in the crash, police said in a statement. But the driver of a pick-up truck, whose vehicle was crushed between two semi-trailers, escaped with minor head wounds, according to NBC affiliate KTVB…..More Here
