(ABC 6 News) – With an enormous snowfall dumping on the majority of the state Thursday, Minnesota State Patrol (MSP) responded to hundreds of crashes, its public information officer (PIO) said there were a total of 470 crashes, 38 of them resulted in injuries. Meanwhile, there were 261 vehicles off the road, 25 spin-outs and 30 jackknifed semis.
