Snowy conditions led to a multiple-vehicle wreck Saturday that left traffic at a standstill for hours along Donner Pass.
The accident blocked multiple lanes of eastbound I-80 around 11:04 a.m., according to Caltrans.

Drivers were seen standing outside of their vehicles as they waited for traffic to move again as a snowstorm blanketed the area.
