Wintry mix causes slick roads, massive pileup in Yonkers

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Drivers were faced with treacherous conditions for their Monday commute, after a mix of snow, rain and ice caused slippery roads throughout the area.

Southern New Jersey got most of the snow on Sunday. The National Weather Service says unofficial observations show 11 inches fell in Penns Grove, 9 inches in Beachwood, 7 inches in Woodbury and 6 inches in Blackwood.

The snow gave way to rain overnight that froze on many roadways and caused treacherous driving conditions.

There were numerous accidents, including a massive pileup involving 24 cars late Sunday night on the Bronx River Parkway in Yonkers. At least 35 people were hurt and taken to three area hospitals, but none of the injuries were life-threatening. The parkway was closed southbound for several hours, but reopened at 5:30 a.m.
