Rescue workers stand near vehicles after a chain collision involving dozens, possibly up to a hundred cars took place on February 3, 2012 on the Lahti motorway, close to the Jakomäki district of Helsinki, Finland. Slippery conditions and blowing snow led to hundreds of accidents, injuries, traffic jams and road closures on Friday. At least 40 people were hospitalized, some with serious injuries.

By late afternoon, Helsinki police had received reports of over 200 accidents. LEHTIKUVA / Jussi Nukari *** FINLAND OUT *** (Photo credit should read JUSSI NUKARI/AFP via Getty Images)
