MASSACHUSETTS – One after the other, dozens of cars and trucks slammed into the back of a multicar crash in Massachusetts until about 70 vehicles had been wrecked and at least 35 people had been taken to hospitals, the Massachusetts State Police said Sunday.
Two people were seriously injured, Sgt. Stephen Marsh told reporters.
The accidents began before dawn on icy Highway 290, Marsh said, and didn’t stop until the chaos stretched 500 yards.
Marsh said that as cars came over a rise, drivers saw the accidents and tried to brake but were caught up in the chain of collisions. Other motorists were able to see the trouble in time only after so many cars were piled up that they stretched out over the incline, he said.
