Emergency personnel respond to a pileup Wednesday along Interstate 95 in Etna, Maine, that injured at least 17 people. More than 70 vehicles got tangled up in a series of chain-reaction crashes that involved several cars, a school bus and a tractor-trailer, state police spokesman Steve McCausland said. He said one veteran trooper described the site as a "giant pile of metal." State police said the crash was the biggest in Maine in more than 15 years.
