PAINESVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say an interstate east of Cleveland has reopened after a pileup of about 50 vehicles in snowy conditions shut down the highway for more than 14 hours.

The Lake County sheriff's office says about 20 people were injured in the chain-reaction crash Thursday.

Highway crews opened the roadway Friday morning after the crash involving a Greyhound bus and over a dozen trucks on Interstate 90.

Bus passenger Greg Carmichael tells Fox 8 News he was heading home to Buffalo, New York. He says about an hour into the ride the weather conditions worsened and a truck hit the bus from behind, causing a domino-effect crash.

He says several people on the bus were seriously injured.
