That happened about an hour north of me. That road is HORRIBLE when it snows, it' a major truck route and the trucks FLY no matter what the conditions are. They said it was started by a truck going 55MPH in almost 0 visibility.

I've driven across PA on 80 a few times... I can see a thing like this happening there. Last time I was up that way was about two years ago, and ended up getting stuck for a good hour or so, pretty close to the OH line. Traffic was backed up for who knows how far. It had just started to snow, and apparently there was a pretty good wreck up the road. We got off the interstate and waited for it to clear up...
