The US northeast, and much of America, woke up to a brutal blast of frigid air sweeping across the United States, which has wreaked havoc on roads in Virginia and Maryland, leaving at least three dead in multi-vehicle wrecks Saturday.

According to CBS, a 55-vehicle crash on a icy stretch of I-95 in Baltimore, which also included a dramatic crash and explosion of a fuel tanker truck, left at least two people dead and motorists stranded for hours about 5 a.m. Saturday, Baltimore Fire Department spokesman Roman Clark said. Eleven people were taken to hospitals.

The frozen roads are the result of an arctic air mass, called Winter Storm Decima, that has chilled large swaths of the northern United States for days will culminate this weekend with dangerous cold in Montana and North Dakota as heavy snow falls in other parts of the country, officials said. People in North Dakota face “life threatening cold” and the risk of frostbite with exposure of 10 minutes or less, the National Weather Service (NWS) said in an advisory. In Montana dangerous wind chills are expected to last through Saturday afternoon and people should guard against hypothermia, the NWS said.

Temperatures in parts of Montana could plummet to record lows for this day of around minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 34 degrees Celsius), meteorologist Kenneth James of the Weather Prediction Center said in a phone interview cited by Reuters.

The bitter cold comes from a blast of arctic air – the second one this week – blowing south from Canada across the U.S. border into the northern plain states and the Midwest, NWS officials said. It has joined forces with a storm that swept in from the Pacific Ocean, bringing snowfall to large sections of the northern United States as it chugs across the country to the East Coast, they said. Areas of Wisconsin, Indiana, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine will see the heaviest snowfall from the storm on Saturday, with up to 6 inches (15 cm) of accumulation possible in those regions.

So far most impacted has been transportation along the I-95 corridor and especially around Baltimore, where traffic was at a stand still for hours while crews assessed this morning’s crash. Authorities say a tanker went off the bridge and fell down to the street below.

A Twitter clip posted on Saturday morning showed a fuel truck flipping over a median on the interstate before erupting in flames near the Washington Boulevard exit, CNN affiliate WBAL reported. Clark confirmed the video showed the I-95 crash.

Following the crash, I-95 in parts of southwest Baltimore has been largely shut down as emergency vehicles descended on the scene, stalling traffic for miles and leading authorities to urge stranded motorists on both sides of the interstate to “remain warm and calm and shelter in place” in their cars, Clark said.

Here’s another capture from slightly further back on the neighboring overpass adjacent to #I95N in #Baltimore taken ~30min ago. …read more
