Don't know if any of you have seen this on your local news, but this is a crash that happened in New Hampshire on I-93 yesterday. It's been playing a lot on the Boston news since it happened. Pretty amazing thing to see!

Dang! If it wasn't for the snow, it would look the aftermath of a CHiPs-style chain reaction accident. I hope no one got hurt.

Wow, that's impressive. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt -- here's an excerpt from the accompanying article:

Quote:

While most drivers avoided a slippery morning commute since the first snowflakes didn't fall until after 8 a.m., I-93 was transformed into a skating rink by 10 a.m.

As the snowfall became heavier, vehicles started to slide off the highway. Accidents were reported between exits 2 and 5, but there were no serious injuries, state police Sgt. Lawrence Bolduc said.

"We've had a number of minor accidents and quite a few vehicles off the road," he said. "We were very busy in the southern area near Exit 3."

One of those accidents included a car that slid off the road on I-93 south in Salem near Exit 2. The vehicle was upended, its front-end buried in the snow. About the same time, police responded to an accident a short distance away involving a motor home and a pickup truck pulling a camper.
