Second Major Snowstorm in Northeast Delays Air Travel

The second major snowstorm to hit the Northeast this season left snow as much as a foot deep Sunday and caused scattered traffic accidents and airline delays.

The deepest snow fell in eastern Pennsylvania, with 12 inches at Morgantown in Berks County. Parts of New Jersey got 10 inches, and 9 inches had accumulated by Sunday morning at Mansfield, Mass. Up to 10 inches fell in parts of the Washington metropolitan area.

A Greyhound bus carrying 46 people slid on snow on New Jersey’s Garden State Parkway early Sunday and overturned. New Jersey state police said 41 people en route to New York City from Atlantic City were treated at hospitals and five were treated at the scene. Most injuries were minor.

In Plymouth, Pa., a tour bus collided with a snowplow on Interstate 476 and slid down a ravine. More than 30 people were injured, two seriously.

Another bus accident on Saturday injured 40 people at Allamuchy, N.J., one critically. The commuter bus was headed to Scranton, Pa., from New York City when it overturned.

In the New York City area, airlines canceled a number of flights at Newark and LaGuardia airports, a spokesman said.

Kennedy International Airport was closed for 1 1/2 hours because a JetBlue airliner that had just landed on a flight from California missed a turn and got stuck in snow, a spokesman said. No one was injured.
