Terrifying scenes as insane 45-car chain-reaction crash causes huge pile-up as snow blankets the Midwest

A nightmare 45-car crash brought traffic to a screeching halt as Indiana drivers made their way home from the holidays amidst a snow storm. 

Multiple commercial and passenger vehicles were involved in the crash along interstate 70, ten miles from Terre Haute, per NBC Chicago.

Several of the cars slid across the eastbound side to the median, into the grass, and even toward oncoming traffic on the westbound side of the highway.

Much of western Indiana, including Vigo county where the crash occurred, is under a winter weather advisory until 10am Sunday.

The hazardous weather conditions boasted snowfall up to three inches and wind speeds as high as 35 mph, according to the Weather Channel. 

Drivers were warned to ‘plan on slippery roads.’

‘Slow down and use caution while traveling,’ read the warning from the weather service.

Indiana State Police announced that the pileup would cause a six hour traffic halt during one of travel’s busiest weekends.

‘If you can stay home, just stay home’ said Sargant Matt Ames in a social media post.

‘People need to drive smart when the snow starts falling, reduce your speed. Make sure you’re buckled up.’

Fortunately, no major injuries have been reported.

Holiday travel in the midwestern United States has been crippled by ongoing storms.

More than 2,200 flights were canceled across the country this weekend with 46 million people under winter weather warnings.

Amidst chaotic weather patterns, almost 82 million Americans were expected to travel between November 25 and December 1. 

Freezing weather conditions are expected to continue through the rest of the week. 

The National Weather Service predicted that snow will continue in Vigo Country through the rest of the night. 

High winds will bleed over into the next week with a chance of even more snow on Monday.
