LARAMIE, Wyoming (AP) -- At

least 20 vehicles crashed on a rural Wyoming interstate in blizzard conditions Sunday, killing at least six people, officials

said.

An undetermined number of injured victims were taken to hospitals in Laramie and Rawlins, the Wyoming

Highway Patrol said. Troopers didn't know whether there were additional fatalities or injuries

because they had not reached all the vehicles late Sunday, Sgt. Stephen

Townsend said.

Troopers at the scene reported zero visibility due to strong

winds and blowing snow. Interstate 80 was closed for about 100 miles from Cheyenne to Rawlins.

The crash, which involved semitrailers and passenger

vehicles, was reported west of Laramie shortly after 4 p.m. Few other details were released. Several smaller crashes also

occurred behind the 20-vehicle crash, troopers said.
