12 vehicles involved in series of crashes on I-95 ramp in Danvers
All involved were transported to local hospitals after icy roadways caused the chain-reaction crashes, state police say.
A total of 12 vehicles were involved in a series of crashes on an Interstate 95 ramp in Danvers Wednesday morning, police said.

Police said there were three separate crashes on the ramp, involving 12 vehicles in total.
Three adults were treated for back injuries, and all were transported to local hospitals for further evaluation, according to MSP. Police did not specify the condition of the other drivers or passengers.
