Police say the 4 a.m. accident sent 22 people to the hospital. Officials said another 37 people refused treatment.

One firefighter also suffered a cuts on his face.

Investigators had not yet released the victims’ names, and haven’t said what caused the accident.

The wreck caused a miles-long backup on the freeway during the morning rush hour commute, as tow trucks labored to clear the disabled vehicles from the busy stretch of interstate.
