A four-vehicle accident on I-84 East around 8:15 am closed the highway. Responding firefighters reported minor injuries to those involved, but also reported that one vehicle was off the roadway and another was "sideways."

The weather service Tuesday morning announced that the "multi-faceted winter storm, from the past few days, will sweep through the East today. A swath of wintry precipitation of snow, sleet and freezing rain will affect areas from the Ohio Valley to parts of the Northeast and New England."
