NEW YORK — (NEW YORK) -- Six people are dead and dozens more injured after a massive pileup Monday in Illinois caused by a sudden dust storm, officials said.
More than 30 people were injured and transported to the hospital, including multiple people with life-threatening injuries, Illinois State Police Maj. Ryan Starrick said during an afternoon press conference. Victims range in age from 2 to 80 years old, Starrick said.
Forty to 60 passenger vehicles and at least 30 commercial vehicles were involved in the crash, including two semi-trucks that caught fire, police said. The Montgomery County Coroner's Officer confirmed to ABC News the identity of one of the victims as Shirley Harper, 88, of Franklin, Wisconsin, who was a passenger in a vehicle that was being driven by her daughter. Her daughter survived and is currently hospitalized, authorities said.
"It actually looks like snow almost when I was sending [my kids] videos," said Karen Leach, who was caught up in the storm."And it just it feels like, like the end of the world."
