Winter Storm Gail has hammered the Northeast with more than 3 feet of snow in certain areas, causing dangerous road conditions that left at least two people dead.
The winter storm caused a 30 to 60-car pile-up in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday evening, the Pennsylvania Department of Transport announced in an alert. Two people died from the crash and multiple people were injured.
“Please stay home and do not travel unless it is absolutely necessary,” state police said in a tweet following the crash.
The crash happened on Interstate 80, closing the westbound highway for several hours as officials worked to clear the area.
Virginia State Police also reported a 19-year-old man died in a car crash in the early hours of Thursday morning, one of about 200 accidents the state police responded to throughout the nor’easter.
“Assume that anything that is snowy, slushy, or wet will turn to ice,” Virginia’s Department of Transportation warned its residents in a tweet as officials worked to make road conditions safe.
More than 40 inches of snow was reported in parts of New York State, with 10 inches reported in New York City’s Central Park on Thursday morning.
The heavy snow also impacted the road conditions in NYC, and officials reported a multi-car collision on a bridge connecting Manhattan to the Bronx – causing at least six people to be hospitalised with non-life threatening injuries.
Snow, strong winds, and coastal flooding was reported in parts of the Northeast starting on Wednesday – as the storm stretched from North Carolina all the way up to parts of Maine, according to the National Weather Service.
