At least one person was killed and several others were hurt in a gruesome, six-vehicle crash that forced state police to shut down Interstate 84s westbound lanes Wednesday as they toiled through the mangled metal on the highway.
Troopers said that two tractor-trailers and four vehicles crashed in the westbound lanes of the interstate near exit 5 in the Orange County town of Montgomery. Police say two patients were sent to hospitals via helicopter with serious injuries, and a number of other people are being treated. Chopper 4 captured several cars and at least one tractor-trailer piled up in the westbound lanes of the highway.
