DALLAS (AP): A massive crash involving more than 130 vehicles on an icy Texas interstate left at least six people dead and dozens injured Thursday (Feb 11) amid a winter storm that dropped freezing rain, sleet and snow on parts of the United States.

At the scene of the crash on Interstate 35 near downtown Fort Worth, a tangle of semi trailers, cars and trucks had smashed into each other and had turned every which way, with some vehicles on top of others.
