A huge 50-car pile-up has shut down a highway after a ‘total whiteout’ and severe winds caused drivers to lose control of their vehicles.

The I-78 outside Harrisburg, in Lebanon County, was a scene of carnage this afternoon, with tankers, lorries and regular cars all involved in the massive crash.

Local reports suggested the crash was fatal and pictures from the scene showed bloodied people being stretchered towards air ambulances.

The smash came after snowstorm alerts were issued for the Philadelphia area, as well as swathes of the north east of the United States.
