There were snowy shutdowns, spinouts and collisions on a northeastern California highway during Christmas and Christmas Eve, and part of the aftermath was captured on camera.
The California Highway Patrol shared on social media footage of vehicles stuck in traffic near Castle Peak in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains the night of Christmas.
“Eastbound traffic is now being held at Castle Peak due to a 10+ vehicle pileup over Donner Summit,” the California Highway Patrol wrote just before 8:00 p.m. on Christmas Day. “It’s going to take some time to clean up the scene.”
USA TODAY has contacted the California Highway Patrol to inquire about injuries.
The summit the pileup happened over, Donner Summit, stands 7,240 feet high. Before the pileup, the patrol had shared numerous updates on weather conditions.
