30-Vehicle Pile-Up Closes I-69

A 30-vehicle pile-up closed I-69 in Huntington County yesterday for more than four hours. Fifteen of the vehicles involved were semi trucks, some of which were a total loss. Police blame the chain-reaction crash on lake-effect snow that suddenly reduced visibilities on the interstate to near zero. Despite the massive amounts of damage injuries were few and minor. Police say it all started when the weather conditions forced one vehicle to slow down and another vehicle rear-ended it.
