Blinding snow causes crashes along Interstate 75

Tennessee state police say a juvenile was seriously injured and others were hurt when blinding snow and fog contributed to a string of crashes along a three-mile stretch of Interstate 75 near Jellico. The eight crashes were original reported by Campbell County dispatch as a chain-reaction pileup that involved 10 to 15 vehicles including several tractor-trailers and a Greyhound bus. Tennessee Highway Patrol Sgt. Stacy Heatherly said the crashes were reported in the northbound lanes of I-75 shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday in near "white-out" conditions caused by heavy snowfall and fog.
