6 die during a whiteout on I-80 in Wyoming

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — At least 20 vehicles crashed on a rural Wyoming interstate in blizzard conditions Sunday, killing at least six people, officials said.

An undetermined number of injured victims were taken to hospitals in Laramie and Rawlins, the Wyoming Highway Patrol said.

Troopers at the scene reported strong winds that reduced visibility to zero. I-80 was closed about 50 miles from Cheyenne to Laramie, at the request of Laramie officials, who said there was no parking left in the town for semitrailers.
