MORIARTY, NM - Crews responded to the scene of a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 40 during wintry weather on Thursday, according to a KOAT report.

The accident occurred during difficult driving conditions throughout New Mexico as a storm moved through the state. Snow and ice made for treacherous road surfaces and low visibility.
