Fort Worth PILEUP involving 100 vehicles leaves at least 6 dead, multiple people injured

'We pray to God we never see it again,' the Fort Worth police chief said

Icy conditions in Texas led to a massive pile-up on Interstate 35W in Fort Worth on Thursday morning and prompted authorities to urge residents to stay home.

At least six people were killed in the crash, which involved 133 vehicles, FOX 4 of Dallas-Fort Worth reported. About 60 people were transported to area hospitals, the report added.

"The scene we saw today is really, probably, unlike anything any of us have seen, and we pray to God we never see it again," Fort Worth police Chief Neil Noakes told the station. "Our hearts, our thoughts, our prayers go out to everyone negatively affected by this tragic incident."

The first crash in the string occurred around 6:15 a.m. Thursday, Noakes said, adding that ice on the road appeared to be a factor. Crashes stretched for nearly a mile along the road, FOX 4 reported.

The road "may not have been properly treated by the operator," contributing to the crash, Texas state Sen. Beverly Powell told Fox News.
