NEW COLUMBIA, Pa. — A section of Interstate 80 remained closed Thursday in central Pennsylvania hours after a multi-vehicle wreck in snow squalls left two people dead and dozens injured.
Westbound traffic was being diverted Thursday while tow trucks worked to remove 15 to 20 cars and trucks.
The crash was reported at about 1 p.m. Wednesday on I-80 in White Deer Township as blinding snow made the highway slick. state transportation officials said.
Union County’s coroner confirmed a fatality and the Montour County coroner said a second person died at a hospital. No names have been released.
