DETROIT — A 19-year-old Michigan woman was among four people killed Friday in a 46-car pileup on the Ohio Turnpike during severe weather.
Emma Smith of Webberville was identified by Ohio authorities Christmas night. The accident occurred just after 12:30 p.m. Friday during a massive storm that moved through the country with snow, wind and arctic temperatures.
The eastbound Turnpike, or Interstate 80, was shut down near mile marker 106. The crashes occurred between State Route 53 and State Route 4 in Groton Township, authorities said.
