POTTSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — A collision involving as many as 40 vehicles closed a portion of Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania.

Video posted on social media shows several trucks and a number of smaller vehicles were struck and at least one ablaze.

The crash occurred in the northbound lanes of I-81 in Schuylkill County near the Minersville exit at about 11 a.m. Monday.

There were no immediate reports of serious injuries.

The Pottsville Republican-Herald reports that snowy conditions were hampering the ability of firetrucks to reach the scene.

Video posted on social media showed tractor-trailers and other vehicles slamming into stopped vehicles.
