The accident, involving up to 100 vehicles, took place along Interstate 35 in Fort Worth, where the authorities warned of dangerous weather conditions.
At least five people were killed in crashes that involved up to 100 vehicles on a Texas interstate Thursday morning, the authorities said, as a slurry of winter weather made for slick roads, patches of ice and dangerous driving conditions. Multiple people were also trapped in their vehicles by the crashes, which took place along Interstate 35 in Fort Worth and included cars and 18-wheeler trucks, according to the Fort Worth Fire Department. Videos broadcast by local TV stations showed cars piled on top of each another, tractor-trailers rolled onto their sides and other vehicles spun out all over the road. It was not immediately clear how many people were injured, said Brad Perez, a spokesman for the Fort Worth Police Department.
