Washington – Heavy fog and ice on a major interstate highway in the eastern US\u00a0state of Virginia caused a massive multi-vehicle crash involving at least 63 vehicles on Sunday, leading to some three dozen injuries.<\/p>\n

There were no fatalities reported, but several of those injured were in serious condition, state police said. Some 35 people were taken to hospitals in the area for medical treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Local station WABC-TV\u00a0reported that two people suffered life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n

Cars crashed into one another, crushing the front and back ends of many vehicles and causing some to be partially lifted off the ground.<\/p>\n

Investigations were under way by local authorities. Efforts to clear the highway were ongoing more than six hours after the crash occurred.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police said weather conditions were favorable for ice and visibility was low at the time of the pile-up.<\/p>\n

This weekend is one of the busiest travel times of the year, as people hit the roads for the upcoming Christmas holidays.<\/p>\n
