The first video from Marci Hugentobler shows a large pile-up on I 80 in Wyoming on Thursday as it happened. The second video posted by ViralHog shows the aftermath and some of the rescue operation.
A 150-mile stretch of Interstate 80 between Cheyenne and Rawlins, Wyoming, reopened Friday night, more than 20 hours after major wrecks involving dozens of semi trucks forced police to close it down.
Blinding, blowing snow hit southern Wyoming Thursday, creating impossible driving conditions that police say likely led to a series of three wrecks along the interstate. More than 30 commercial vehicles and 12 passenger cars were involved.
Photos show the semi trucks piled up on one another. No one was killed, but about a dozen people were hospitalized.
