Fire Breaks Out After Semi-Trucks Involved in 'Massive Crash' on Icy Wisconsin Interstate
More than 100 vehicles were involved in crashes along the ice-covered Interstate 94 in western Wisconsin on December 23, according to WLUK-TV.
Footage by local resident Ashleigh Earll shows a fiery pileup involving semi-trucks between Northfield and Osseo in Jackson County.
The local sheriff's office warned drivers to avoid that stretch of I-94 to make way for emergency vehicles. "There is a massive crash involving many vehicles," they said.
According to the sheriff's office, all primary and secondary roads in Jackson county were "ice-covered and slippery" on Thursday morning, and they asked drivers to stay home if possible. Credit: Ashleigh Earll via Storyful
