This accident occurred against the backdrop of a powerful winter storm that affected vast areas of the country. The National Weather Service issued a warning about adverse weather conditions, including severe cold and winter storms, in several states such as northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
Snowfalls and slippery roads have already caused numerous accidents in this region, posing a danger to drivers and complicating movement on key transportation routes.
