Authorities confirmed Monday's crash killed at least three individuals and dozens more were transported to the hospital, CBS Philadelphia reports.
Schuylkill County coroner Dr. David J. Moylan confirmed the three fatalities late Monday afternoon and said the search was ongoing due to vehicles at the scene, acknowledging "I suspect it could run higher."
The Shuylkill County Office of Emergency Management said the crash took place at 10:30 a.m.
John Blickley, the agency's deputy emergency management coordinator, said responding officials believe the lack of visibility caused by snowfall at the scene was a contributing factor.
The emergency management agency and state police's early estimates of total victims involved in the crash ranges between 40 and 60 and includes multiple tractor trailers, CBS Philadelphia reports.
