Multi-vehicle crash with fatalities shuts down I80 westbound

I've been on this stretch of road in the winter in a 300D, it was no fun.

Looking at the vehicle carnage its pretty fortunate that only 2 people lost their lives.

I-80 is known to have slick icy driving conditions during winter months. Ice + 70 miles per hour = pile ups

They may be involved in many accidents but I do not know that they are causing them. I see small vehicles cutting them off all the time thinking that they are just pulling in front of another vehicle.

Law of the jungle; 80,000 pound speeding semi tractor rig will win every time. IMHO, best to stay off the interstates if possible.

Unhappy Bad Collision

Wow, that's terrible .

They had a smaller one in Los Angeles, the idiots following too closely to the semi that flipped and lay across both lanes, drove right into the trailer...

Snow & ice mean slow down, even I know that much .
