Crash on Interstate 790

A collision this morning on Interstate 790 killed two people while injuring twenty, four of them seriously according to Sgt. Albert Wei of the police department. An investigation is ongoing.

At around 6:45 a.m. two tractor trailers collided which started a chain reaction among the morning rush hour. Fire Chief Tony Sullivan said that three of the cars involved in the pile up had their roofs cut off to free the trapped drivers and passengers. Two of the worst victims were flown out by the "Life Flight" helicopter.

The interstate was still closed at the deadline of this story. Officials aren't sure when it will be re-opened.
