At least two people have died and at least 22 more were injured, three of them critically, in a “grim” accident involving several semi-tractor trailers on an ice-slicked highway in northern Indiana, officials said on Thursday. The crash occurred in icy conditions on I-94, near Michigan City, Indiana, according to LaPorte County coroner John Sullivan, speaking on the Chicago-area ABC TV station. Seven people were taken to Franciscan St. Anthony Health facility in Michigan City, including three in critical condition, according to spokeswoman Sarah Jones.
