DALLAS (AP) – Police say at least five people were killed and dozens injured in a massive crash involving 75 to 100 vehicles on an icy Texas interstate. The pileup on Interstate 35 near downtown Fort Worth happened as a winter storm is dropping freezing rain, sleet and snow on parts of the U.S. A spokesman for the Fort Worth ambulance service said 36 people were taken to hospitals. Several were critically injured. In suburban Austin, emergency officials said that more than two dozen vehicles were involved in a pileup on an icy highway, and five people were taken to the hospital.
