At least three people were killed and more than a dozen have been hospitalized following a collision on a Pennsylvania highway Monday that caused a major pileup.

The mass pileup of at least 40 vehicles on Interstate 81 near Minersville was caused by heavy fog and precipitation from a snow squall in the area, CNN reported. Videos posted on social media show drivers and passengers lining the snowy road and jumping out of the way as a cascade of crashes unfolds.
