Hundreds of drivers were left stranded in their vehicles on Interstate 5 near the Oregon-California border on Wednesday following a major blizzard.

The interstate was closed in both directions late on Tuesday because of the bomb cyclone, which blanketed some areas with nearly a foot of snow, and made it difficult for ploughs to clear the freeway.
