Western PA on I-80 mile maker 94.

Not sure of the final count but it was around 25-30 vehicles including 6 Tractor trailers. I believe up to 8 cars had entrapment/confinement. Thankfully there were no deaths

I-80 = I80...like in final destination...accident is like the one final destination 2 which coincidentally was on I-80 also

Really amazing no one was killed.... This is a type of call I like to refer as a "Charlie Foxtrot" or better known as a cluster fuck

It is amazing that no one was killed. Some of those cars really got scrunched.
