At least one person has died in a fiery accident involving eight semis and three passenger cars on Interstate-30 in Arkansas.
Arkansas Department of Transportation says there are multiple drivers injured, but have not specified how many or the extent of their injuries. Arkansas State police said there were 'fatalities.'
The eastbound lanes of I-30 remain closed and backed up for miles approaching the carnage. Traffic is moving on slowly in the westbound lanes, and traffic is being diverted off the highway.
Arkansas DOT is distributing food and water to drivers stranded on the interstate, and authorities are turning traffic around to clear the scene.
