Deadly crash in Maryland
MYERSVILLE, Md. (AP) - January 19, 2009 Forty-five people were taken to a Red Cross shelter by bus. One
person was critically injured, said State Police spokeswoman Elena
Russo.
The pileup happened about 12:30 p.m. on Interstate 70 near South
Mountain in northwestern Maryland. An inch-and-a-half of snow
quickly fell around the same time and Russo said a preliminary
investigation found the snow was at least partly to blame for the
crash.
The westbound lanes of the highway will likely be closed at
least through rush hour as crews clean up.
