A pileup of over 100 vehicles occurred today on the Interstate 94 in United States' Wisconsin due to hazardous condition caused by freezing rain.
The police said that the icy road conditions had caused a number of vehicle crashes and runoffs in west-central Wisconsin.
"Freezing rain caused icy, hazardous road conditions this morning," the Wisconsin State Patrol said.
At around 10.40 am, the highway was closed between Osseo and Black Rivers Fall, a roughly 40 km stretch, after a multi-vehicle crash involving a number of semi-tractor trailers and passenger vehicles.
