MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota transportation officials say as many as 20 vehicles have piled up and shut down an interstate ramp in the Twin Cities during the morning commute.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation says the pileup has closed the ramp from southbound Highway 280 to Interstate 94. There’s no word yet on whether anyone was hurt.
MnDOT’s road report says highways in the Twin Cities are partially covered with snow. But officials haven’t said whether slippery roads were a factor in the pileup.
