GREENWICH TOWNSHIP, Pa. (WPVI) -- Pennsylvania state police now say six people were injured, one seriously, in a snowy chain-reaction crash in Greenwich Township, Berks County.

It happened on I-78, just east of Hausman Road, on Saturday morning.

Police say the driver of a tractor-trailer was driving too fast on the snow-covered road and lost control, hitting the center concrete barrier.

Ten more vehicles, including three tractor-trailers, then crashed into the vehicle.

The crash closed the road for about seven hours.
