Whiteout conditions are believed to have caused a 25 vehicle pile-up Wednesday afternoon on southbound U.S. 131 near 2 Mile Road in Osceola County. Osceola County Undersheriff Justin Halladay said in a release that around 2 p.m. Wednesday deputies responded to a crash on the expressway near 2 Mile Road.
