30 Vehicle Pileup in West Virginia

A slew of accidents around West Virginia brought traffic to a standstill Monday as the first significant snowfall of the season created slick roadways and hazardous driving conditions.

As many as 30 vehicles were involved in a pileup along the West Virginia Turnpike near Beckley Monday afternoon. One lane was shut down as traffic crawled northward near the split of Interstate 64 and Interstate 77.

Along Interstate 64 westbound between Cross Lanes and Institute, traffic came to a halt after motorists struggled to maintain control of their vehicles. Many residents who work in downtown Charleston were left on the roadway for hours as crews with the Division of Highways worked to salt and sand the road Monday afternoon and evening.

Temperatures fell into the lower 20s Monday afternoon, creating black ice along many roads. The National Weather Service issued a black ice warning.

Re: 30 Vehicle Pileup in West Virginia

Why dont they look ahead rather than look at the front of their vehicle that twat in the black 4x4 had plenty of time to brake and stop, and the guy in the 18 wheeler wants his ability to drive a 18 wheeler looked at.

Re: 30 Vehicle Pileup in West Virginia

i think the real lesson here is don't be a dumbass. has nothing to do with not braking on black ice, try going slow enough that you don't have to brake on the black ice, unless you're trying to thin your gene pool

Re: 30 Vehicle Pileup in West Virginia

Awesome video, fair play to the driver for not just slamming on and closing his eyes
