A massive pileup, involving at least 50 vehicles, took place on Saturday afternoon on Interstate 78 in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.
More than 40 people were taken to the hospital, and at least three people died in the crash.
As a result, I-78 between Interstate 81 and Exit 13 (PA 501/Bethel) are closed in both directions. Officials expect the closure to last through the night.

A local spoke to CBS News in Harrisburg and said “It sounded like two bombs went off.”
The crash was blamed on strong winds and passing snow squalls.
