I heard it wasn’t really weather-related to the snow/ice. The guy driving a tractor at the lead had an issue with glare and that started the entire chain reaction

All it takes is one driver, likely from the South.

People are idiots.

Plus I think there is a fair bit of safety equipment overload going on.

Word is that the speed & trailer restrictions were lifted on the recommendation of the Turnpike maintenance crews. Oooops! The eastbound lanes were slush covered but in spots there was glare ice underneath.

From the article.

One driver said that road spray on windshields plus the sun low in the sky may have hindered visibility as drivers found themselves suddenly upon a stopped vehicle ahead with insufficient room to stop on the slick pavement.
