Four killed after at least 46 vehicles pileup in Ohio

Four people died and some others were injured following a massive car crash involving at least 46 vehicles.

The crash took place in the eastbound lanes on the Ohio Turnpike in Erie County. A stretch of the westbound lanes of the turnpike resumed at 11:25 p.m., about 12 hours after the crash, but the eastbound lanes remained shut.

Fifteen commercial vehicles were being cleared from the turnpike, and “white-out conditions persist”.

Buses were utilized for taking people from the crash site to a regional facility so they could stay warm.

The identities of the victims were not released yet.

Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
