Snow Squall Results in Auto Accidents Monday Afternoon across Star Valley

An intense snow squall crossed Star Valley Monday afternoon.  White out conditions accompanied the snow squall resulting in several accidents along Hiway 89 from Alpine to Thayne.  A multiple vehicle accident occurred over the Snake River bridge in Alpine blocking traffic for over an hour.

Here are a couple videos from the Web Cams located north of the Snake River Bridge. The visibilities dropped to near zero very quickly with the squall.
