Fatal Chain Collision Crash-I-80 Eastbound in Pennsylvania,Traffic Detoured

There are no excuses for everything I saw on 80 in PA on tuesday night/Wednesday morning. The speed limit is 45 everytime it snows or ices which is honestly still too fast for alot of parts. Electronic signs every 15 miles saying so. Ok so speed limits dont mean much to some I guess, but you would hope that driving past a dozen separate truck wrecks might turn the light bulb on for some of these drivers. Nope. And I might be underselling that dozen. There was carnage it seemed like every few miles along with trucks stuck on the iced up hills after sitting in accident traffic. It was a nasty night.

 

I wonder how many of those drivers come from states with no snow driving experience.

 

I got off exit 120 and was going 30 down the hill before the exit that night. been at this long enough to know when to get off the road.

 

...more likely from drivers who come from snow states that ain't ever seen ICE! I remember heading to Chicago a few years back. Usually, when they get "winter weather" it starts as snow and just snows. This one year, they got an ice storm on Friday night that left people wrecking all over the place. They just weren't used to the roads being THAT slick, especially when it "only" looked a little wet...so they were trying to drive like they would in the rain, when they needed to drive with more caution than if it were snowing. It is just something they don't see up there.

 

It's unreal seeing the massive truck wrecks after a major winter storm.
