OSSEO, Wis. (NewsNation Now) — Authorities in western Wisconsin are trying to sort out a massive crash on Interstate 94 that involved multiple vehicles.
The crash occurred Thursday morning in Jackson County south of Osseo.
Jackson County Sheriff’s Office says there is a “massive” crash involving numerous vehicles in both directions of I-94. It asked motorists to avoid the area.
According to the Wisconsin State Patrol, icy conditions on I-94 could have been the factor in the multi-vehicle crash. The portions of highways that are closed include Trempealeau, Jackson and Eau Claire counties.
There were no fatalities and only minor injuries reported.
WITI-TV initially reported more than 100 vehicles were involved in a pileup but State Patrol Lt. Tim Weiberg told Wisconsin Public Radio the number was closer to 40.
Authorities hope to get both lanes open by early evening.
