    A snow squall in Pennsylvania caused a massive car crash Monday involving dozens of cars and tractor-trailers and leaving at least three people dead.

The crash occurred along I-81 north in Schuylkill County between exits 116 and 119, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. All lanes were subsequently closed.

At least 50 to 60 vehicles were involved in the wreck, which began just before 11:00 a.m., a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania State Police said.

Video of the crash showed multiple tractor-trailers and cars slamming into each other amid the low visibility. Several vehicles were still on fire around 2:30 p.m. ET.

At least three people died, according to the Schuylkill County coroner.

That was awful to watch.

All I can say is if you find yourself in a similar situation is get as far from the roadway as you can as quickly as you can. Terrible.

WTH were people doing driving that fast under those sorts of conditions?  There was at least one car, and one tractor-trailer, that were still going appreciably close to the speed limit when they hit stopped cars.
