Multiple crashes are being reported this morning, as motorists fail to exercise their winter driving skills. A crash that happened at around 8:35-a.m. on Interstate 80 westbound one mile west of the Anita exit, has resulted in a woman passenger in a semi being injured. The trailer of the semi tipped over onto its side, spilling corrosive and flammable materials. The roadway is blocked eastbound. Firefighters from Atlantic are being assembled to handle the chemical spill.

A second, serious accident on I-80 in the same area, involved a semi and a car. Multiple injuries were reported. Several rescue squads and law enforcement were on the scene. Additional information is not available.

Rescue personnel from Shelby responded at around 8:30-a.m. to a multi-vehicle accident on I-80 westbound at mile marker 31, with unknown injuries at the initial report. The roadway is blocked due to the crash.

Other, non-injury accidents have occurred, with vehicles spinning off into the ditch off I-80.
