The outlet attributed the massive crash to \u201cBlinding snow squalls\u201d that \u201cwere moving through the region at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. David J. Moylan, the Schuylkill County coroner, told the Associated Press that three people had been confirmed dead late Monday afternoon, a number the outlet noted \u201ccould rise because fires were impeding rescuers.\u201d The AP <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/media-social-media-pennsylvania-weather-pottsville-c302ca3d1378fd872f35bccffb149226\">reported<\/a> on video that showed the crash:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>In one video, an out of control tractor-trailer smashed into a large dump truck turning it nearly 180 degrees, another large truck caught fire and spewed black smoke into the air, and an SUV struck a passenger car sending it spinning narrowly past a person standing on the shoulder in snow and fog.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Video mounted on the dash of a vehicle showed how quickly the road conditions changed. Stopped vehicles rose like a wall in front of the driver, and a person on the roadway stretched their arms out and jumped to escape the runaway vehicle. The impact sounded like thunder.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The outlet also noted that the Schuylkill County Office of Emergency Management said the crash occurred around 10:30 a.m. on Monday. The agency\u2019s Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator John Blickley told the outlet that snow squalls made it difficult to see and were likely contributors to the crash. The agency told The Post that 24 people had been taken to local hospitals.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania State Police Trooper David Beohm told the AP on Monday afternoon that fires were keeping officials from fully investigating the crash and that fire units needed water tankers to take out the fires because the crash was \u201cin the middle of nowhere \u2026 there\u2019s not a fire hydrant out here anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beohm also told the outlet that the highway was already covered with snow when the snow squall occurred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll it takes is one person to crash into something and you have to pull off the road, but when you continue to drive at highway speed, this is what happens,\u201d he told the AP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople whose vehicles were in the crash and the \u2018walking wounded\u2019 were taken to the Wegman\u2019s distribution center in an industrial park near the crash, he said, and a reunification center had been set up at the Goodwill Fire Company No. 1 in Minersville for people to meet friends or relatives or arrange accommodations,\u201d the AP added.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the crash, the National Weather Service had reportedly warned drivers about \u201cnumerous brief heavy snow squalls with very poor visibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe squalls will quickly reduce the visibility to under one-half of a mile and coat the roads with snow,\u201d weather forecasters predicted, according to the AP.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
