State police said road conditions were slick at the time of the crash — more than 10 vehicles were involved in total. Several other minor unrelated crashes and slide-offs occurred in the same area around the same time, but no one was injured.
The northbound lanes of I-91 were closed for a time following the crash.
The investigation is ongoing, according to state police, who found the Hyundai couldn't stop because of the icy conditions.
