I-74 Indiana/Ohio Wreck

Married2Allis · Jan 13, 2016

Saw this mess on the news, involved 40 cars and 17 tractor-trailers on 1/2 mile stretch near Indiana/Ohio line yesterday.

We came thru there about an hour before all this happened. We were just getting off the interstate on west of there when the white-out hit us so I just stopped under the overpass for a few minutes. The wind was terrible at that time, along with genius drivers that think 80mph is too slow any time, and it is a recipe for disaster.

That was on Interstate 70 NOT interstate 74.

That being a race track is why I never use the interstates and I am only 5 mile from I75 a bit north of there.

I think there were 2 different ones yesterday One on I74 near the state line and one on I70 also.

The only thing worse than cleaning that mess up would be investigating it. Bad day to be an ISP officer. Talk about paperwork.

The pictured pile up was, indeed, on I-74.

3 of them on 70 here in PA. 2 of 79N. I got caught for over 2 hours in the 79 one while i was less than 2 miles from my exit. l Took a nap in the middle of an interstate. First time
that has happened when in the drivers seat.

News reports said that the collision was caused by a tractor trailer driving far too fast for the conditions.

Sadly, these days, few people around here know how to drive in rain, let alone snow.

I do not see any road! Looks more like a farm meadow.

They spent 9 hours cleaning it up. There was
a whole fleet of wreckers and rollbacks
hauling cars & trucks away. Tow company's
had there yards full and we're still sorting
it out today. I'm sure insurance adjusters
were all waiting to point fingers.
