Car Crash Texas: 18 wheeler pile-up on Texas freeway kills 5 on icy highway 1.5 MILES longAt least 5 deaths have been reported.

Cops said this was a terrible weather-related accident after freezing rain and sleet fell overnight. There were 19 multiple-vehicle crashes just between midnight and 6 AM in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Firefighters are still going car to car along Interstate 35 near Fort Worth, trying to find people who urgently need to be rescued after the crash at 6.30am on Thursday morning.

It’s unclear what started it but video shows a FedEx truck losing control on a downhill stretch of the freeway and plowing into a barrier. Cars behind it then started smashing into it.

The crash site stretches for 1.5 miles along the freeway and traffic is backed up for miles. Authorities are describing it as a ‘mass casualty incident’. It includes cars stuck beneath 18-wheelers and pick-up trucks.

According to MedStar, an ambulance service on the ground, the number of people in critical condition is currently between 40 and 50 but is growing ‘by the minute’.

By 1pm, 36 people had been taken to the hospital. Firefighters are now worried that the people who are trapped my develop hypothermia in the 27 F cold.

It is the worst of multiple crashes across Texas that have been caused by the storm. Another person died in a crash in Dallas and two others were killed in other incidents over Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
