It happened on I-81 north near the Hegins exit as a snow squall moved through the area.

As of 5:00 p.m., it was still an active crash scene. Smoke could be seen billowing from some of the wreckage. Eyewitness News was set up on Route 901 at the Minersville exit overlooking Interstate 81. State Troopers say more than 50 vehicles were involved. Police say it was all caused by a heavy snow squall that led to whiteout conditions and slick roads....................

Police say more than 24 people were taken to area hospitals for treatment. Some by ambulance and some via helicopter. The people who were not injured were taken to the Wegman’s Distribution Center in the nearby Highbridge Business Park and then taken to the Goodwill Fire Company in Minersville to be reunited with family members.

1. The video was crazy. Vehicles crashing into each other blindly

2. The filmer reminds me of the newsman narrating the first air attack of London by the Germans.

He narrated it as if it were a football match. The BBC faced the wrath of the British public and didn't make that mistake again. I'm hoping this filmer was in shock and not responsible for his unapparent sense of tragedy.

3. He was in shock

This is not uncommon in traumatic situations. People will often hyperfocus on unimportant ("my stuff" or " the charger&quot details as a defense mechanism against what is really happening. It's coping and I think people are way too quick to judge this person.

4. I've seen reports of five fatalities in this pile-up. I hope that doesn't go up.
