Last night was the first time it snowed where I live. On the way I drove back from another county in my city, I saw a car pileup - about six to eight cars bumped together.

It took a long time for me to get through. The reason for the car accident is that the road on the bridge was frozen. But on the normal road, it's not frozen.

Last night was the first time it snowed where I live.

This sounds like it was the first time it had EVER snowed there. Do you mean the first time this season?

On the way (that) I drove back from another county in my cito my city | On my way home from another county, I saw a car pileup - about six to eight cars bumped together.

This sounds like you witnessed the accident as it occurred. If you came upon it after it had already happened, add “had”: “six to eight cars HAD bumped together.”

If this accident occurred ON a bridge, you could add this information here, too. This would help the reader to understand the subsequent sentence where you mention the bridge.
