(VIDEO) Dust Storm Causes Pileups, Shuts Down I-35 In Oklahoma

News9.com – Oklahoma City, OK – News, Weather, Video and Sports |

Older residents in Oklahoma were reminded of the “dirty thirties” Thursday after a dust storm reduced visibility to ten feet or less, causing a huge pileup on I-35 just south of the Kansas border.

Oklahoma Department of Transportation spokesman Cole Hackett said the 8-mile stretch of Interstate 35 reopened Thursday evening after being closed for several hours.

No one was killed in the multi-vehicle accident that shut down the interstate, though Blackwell Police Chief Fred LeValley said nine people were injured.
