Ohio turnpike accident 2014 involves at least 50 vehicles and three people dead.
On March 12, 2014, Wednesday, the Ohio toll road killed three people as the late- winter storm swept through the Midwest and Northeast. The accident also involved at least 50 vehicles which caused heavy traffic on the toll road. Pile ups stretched across a 2- mile section in the eastbound lanes of the turnpike between Toledo and Cleveland while another pile up about 10 miles to the east shut down the turnpike's westbound lanes.
Emergency teams for the Ohio turnpike accident 2014 had a very difficult time to reach the accident and stuck vehicles due to the heavy traffic and of the snowy condition. Victims of the said accident included the 20 year- old Hanna Matheny of Parma, 66 year- old Janice Robb and Grzegorz Piwowarczyk, 42 from Illinois.
The Ohio turnpike accident 2014 also injured the state trooper Andrew Clouser, 29 who was pinned between the vehicles ad he tried to respond with the situation. He was reported to be in a very serious condition but Clouser is now stable at the Toledo hospital.
The storm last Wednesday was moving east thereby hitting Great Lakes in Ohio, Pennsylvania, upstate New York and some parts of New England. Meteorologists have also already warned the public for the upcoming massive snow fall.
Ohio turnpike accident 2014 made other people to stay in their cars for several hours. They were also thinking about the upcoming spring which is just a week away from now. "I think spring is buried under all the snow, and I'm just ready for it to go," said Kelly Smith, huddling with her husband.
Debris of the Ohio turnpike accident 2014 is all over the area and toll road officials said that it would take them days to clean up the mess of a two- mile stretch.
