NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — A snowy section of Interstate 80 was closed Thursday afternoon in central Iowa after a massive crash involving roughly 40 vehicles. Iowa authorities closed the eastbound lanes of the interstate east of Newton after the chain-reaction crash. Iowa Transportation Department spokeswoman Andrea Henry said serious injuries have been reported in the crash but no deaths. Pictures of the crash show several semitrailer trucks sideways across the highway and at least six semi trucks that slid off the road. Officials are urging drivers to stay off the roads across most of eastern Iowa because they were mostly covered with snow Thursday.
