The sounds of crunching metal can be heard on the video by David Cuarezma .

Cuarezma said he saw several injured people. A cow that was being transported is seen walking on the interstate.

The area around Rawlins, Wyoming, had periods of moderate to light snowfall, temperatures in the low 20s and winds 10 to 20 mph about the time of the pileup, according to weather.com meteorologist Christopher Dolce.

Deputy Jason Mower, public affairs officer for the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office, said the crash was one of the biggest he has experienced in 11 years on the job , Laramie Live reported.

"With wet snow, cooling temperatures and the wind, it just turns to a sheet of ice," Mower said.

I-80 has been closed 54 out of last 152 days , KGAB Radio reported, citing state DOT data.

"This year has been so hard on everybody," Wyoming Highway Patrol Lt. Tim Romig told the station. "I can't believe how many times the interstate has closed down...."

"The 2018-2019 season saw 47 closures; the 2017-2018 season only 34; the 2016-2017 season 52; and the 2015-2016 season 54," McGee said. "So we're on track to exceed that."
