A major chain-reaction crash has shut down the Kanetsu Expressway in Gunma, Japan, after trucks lost control on icy, compacted snow. The collision erupted around 7:30 p.m. near the Mizukami Interchange and stretched toward the Tsukiyono Interchange, involving at least fifteen vehicles with dozens damaged and several catching fire. <br />Firefighters battled intense flames from burning vehicles — including a large truck — while rescuers worked through dangerous conditions. Authorities say multiple people were injured and transported to hospitals, but no deaths have been confirmed so far, and the injured were reportedly conscious. <br />Police state that speed restrictions were already in place due to heavy snowfall, but many vehicles were unable to stop in time, triggering the massive pileup. Traffic along the busy expressway was shut down for hours as emergency crews responded to the disaster. <br /> <br />#KanetsuExpresswayCrash #JapanHighwayCrash #GunmaCrash #JapanPileup #HighwayDisasterJapan #SnowCrashJapan #IcyRoadsJapan #JapanTrafficAccident #ExpresswayFireJapan #BreakingNewsJapan #MultiVehicleCrash #JapanNews #TruckCrashJapan #WinterCrashJapan #HighwayShutdownJapan #EmergencyResponseJapan #ChainReactionCrash
