New Hampshire state police say 35 vehicles were involved in two separate pileups on Interstate 93 northbound near the town of Ashland on Friday morning.

Police began receiving calls about the accidents on I-93 starting around 9:45 a.m. ET after a car drove under a tractor-trailer truck and both vehicles caught on fire, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation reported. The accidents took place between exit 24 and exit 25, reports NECN.

According to New Hampshire State Police Lt. Jerome Maslan, multiple injuries have been reported, but details about the number and severity of each are still unknown. Fortunately, no fatalities have been reported.

Although the exact cause of the crash is still being investigated, local officials said likely contributors include icy roads, snow squalls and a rapidly moving weather pattern that has limited visibility in the area to almost zero.

Ben Coleman, of Bristol, N.H., said that his car was hit twice in the pileup and that snow suddenly began falling suddenly at a heavy pace.

"It was like coming out of a dense fog. You hit the brakes and the brakes aren't working obviously, so it was car hitting car after car," he told the Boston Globe.

Coleman said the damaged he suffered to the back bumper and driver's side mirror was minor compared to other vehicles in the crash.

"One car got pinned underneath the tractor trailer and was completely engulfed in flame," he said.

Following the crash, officials shut down the highway north of Exit 24 and began directing traffic onto a detour. State police also urged motorists to avoid the area.

All lanes of the highway were reopened after 1 p.m.

CNBC reported that the heavy traffic was most likely caused by drivers heading north to one of the 22 ski resorts located in the Ashland area.
