ICY roads on Interstate 94 led to a massive pileup that reportedly involved more than 100 vehicles, including an overturned semi-truck that burst into flames.
Traffic on the slick I-94 was deadlock from Osseo to Northfield in west-central Wisconsin on Thursday morning due to freezing rain in the region.
According to WTMJ, over 100 vehicles were involved in the crash, causing a complete shut down of the I-94 near Osseo and Eau Claire.
According to Wisconsin State Patrol Sergeant Sean Berkowitch, several vehicles could not get up the hills on that stretch of I-94, causing multiple cars to be stuck.
Officials say State Patrol and other first responders were working on four or five active crashes on the icy highway, including a semi-truck engulfed in flames.
