SANTA FE, N.M. — Traffic was snarled on Interstate 25 east of Santa Fe Tuesday evening when about 12 vehicles were involved in a pile-up as a storm dropped a few inches of hail on the highway.

Southbound traffic on I-25 was blocked off near the Eldorado exit as State Police, sheriff’s deputies and emergency medical personnel responded.

No information on injuries was immediately available.

The hailstorm hit after a second day in a row of intermittent rain showers in the Santa Fe area amid ongoing drought conditions.
