LAMAR, Pa. On Thursday, state police released images of the 66-vehicle crash on Interstate 80 in Clinton County. At least two people died in the wrecks. Just happy I m alive. Lucky to be alive, Justin Majewski said.
Justin Majewski was on his way home from work Wednesday afternoon on Interstate 80, and traffic was stopped ahead of him for another crash. The trucks that were behind me with the way the snow was falling, it was almost white-out. They couldn t see to stop in time, and they were unable to stop. They hit the back of my car and pushed me probably 50 to 100 yards into the back of the truck that was in front of me that was stopped, Majewski recalled.
