Authorities say seven people have been killed — including two teenage sisters — on Iowa roads as a winter storm swept the state Monday, leading to dozens of crashes and a 50- to 70-car pileup near Ames.
The Des Moines Register reports that 17-year-old Avery Arneson and 13-year-old Aiden Arneson, sisters from Decorah, died a two-vehicle crash around 8:30 a.m. Monday on a county road in northeast Iowa. Four other teens were injured and hospitalized in that crash.
In Cedar Rapids, two men died in a crash on Interstate 380. Killed were 24-year-old Jacolby Jesse Burks, of Cedar Rapids, and 21-year-old Devion Martel Luster, of Dixon, Illinois.
One person died and several people were critically injured in the pileup that closed Interstate 35 near Ames.
On I-80, police say a person was killed in a crash east of Grinnell around 1:20 p.m., and another person died and two others were injured at 1:40 p.m. near Durant.

Incredible to get the absolute dumbest 100 drivers in the world in one area at the same time. What a coincidence. I am sure a bunch of red hats on many of the drivers
These people look like they didn't even get a Learner's licence …and are fresh af
The smart ones are pulling off into that frontage road
Slippery road, visibility down due to snow, drivers not reducing speed, what can go wrong?
So which driver died? The white van that got hit by 3 semis?
The cause: Zero compensation for the dangerous weather conditions.
people were driving way too fucking fast for the road conditions that day.
"Speed not prudent for conditions"
"Following too close"
I don't feel sorry for anyone there.
Put down the phone and latte and pay attention
If you can't see 1/2 mile in front of you- why risk this?
I don't see one headlight, no flashers.
Am I seeing the worst Russian roads or are these accidents really in the USA?
Unbelievable how many idiots have a driving license!
Perfect example of how many drivers out of a 100 should have their license suspended. Looks to be about 90% which 9 out of 10.
I'm still young enough that I'm more likely to die behind the wheel of a vehicle than anywhere else and there is a good chance it won't even be 'my fault'. I drive slow and deliberately. Ask yourself, "If the vehicle directly in front of me slammed on it's brakes as hard as it could would I be able to stop in time? If the answer is anything but "of course, and then some" then slow down and make some space.
Those large dark spots ahead must mean the road is clear…step on it !
double indicator 1 b gari waly ny nhi lgaya howa ?
glti 1 krta ha bhugtna bakion ko sth prta ha
People honk at me for going 20 mph im like. Go around u can speed ill just be going my speed
Possibly more than 70 vehicles.
Looks like peddle to the metal and the hell with the weather and the road conditions.i have a new pickup and I’m going to go like hell.
Seen this too many times, too fast for the conditions and not looking far enough ahead to see what is ahead. Visibility gets poor and they still don't slow down. Seen this in rain, fog, snow and oh yeah, clear weather. A whole bunch out there doing things beyond their means, but don't worry about them. They're "GOOD" drivers. Ya see many of them in this video. Too fast to slow down in time.
not one person got out and ran upwind to warn on coming cars???!!! total stooges!!!!
there driving on the wrong side of the road the doughnuts
there was a state trooper car at 4pm and surely the lights on the roof were on but i just could not see it thru the highway cam resolution
This is so stupid. what is wrong with people. Crazy
