Published February 11, 2021 3:31pm ET



At least five people died in a multi-car pileup involving up to 100 vehicles that shut down Interstate 35 west in Fort Worth, Texas, authorities said.

Every lane of the highway was closed as a result of the accidents on Thursday morning, which law enforcement attributed to slick roads following freezing rain and sleet overnight. Many people were trapped in their vehicles after the crash. First responders called the crash a “mass casualty incident.”
