An ice covered bridge and poor visibility were major contributors to a deadly accident that tied-up Interstate 81 all day and into the evening. Four people are dead and another three dozen injured. [Take GFX Map] It happened this morning on the Buffalo Creek Bridge near Lexington. Northbound traffic was backed up for miles, and re-routed onto US 11.

From a birds eye view, it's obvious why northbound interstate traffic was being rerouted. A closer look makes you wonder how anyone survived. 15-vehicles, including eight tractor trailers and seven other passenger vehicles went crashing into one another.

That's because Buffalo Creek Bridge was completely iced over and the morning fog was as thick as split pea soup.

Blood stained snow would indicate just how badly some people were hurt.

Shortly after federally mandated talks failed on jUNE 7--th, the strike grew to 40-thousand as UMW miners walked off the job in sympathy for the Pittston strikers.
Hundreds of people were arrested throughout the strike and were found in contempt of court by violating restrictions on strike activities.
