FREDERICKSBURG, Pa. – A massive pile-up on Interstate 78 involving at least 56 cars shut down the highway in Lebanon County for most of the day Saturday. At least three people died in the wreck and dozens more were hurt, several of them seriously.
At least 56 cars and tractor trailers slammed into one another, most saddled in the median between east and westbound lanes.
“You couldn’t see anything,” said truck driver Juanita Barron. “The snow, all of sudden, it started blowing really hard and you couldn’t see anything.”
Barron stopped her 22,000-pound cargo short of the pile. Her big rig skidded into the median a few hundred feet back. She ended up as one of the dozens needing a tow.
“You never think you’re not going to stop,” said Barron, of Jacksonville, Fla. “You never think you’re not going to be OK.”
