Snow squalls were reported in the area As many as 60 vehicles were involved in the collision on the northbound lanes of the interstate, which was closed between exits 116 and 119 after the crash. Footage from the scene showed at least one truck on fire. The Associated Press reported via the Pottsville Republican-Herald that fire trucks were struggling to reach the scene of the pileup because snowy conditions were making travel difficult along the hilly Route 901. Schuylkill County coroner Dr. David Moylan told the AP at least three people were killed and about 20 people were injured.
