‘Super Fog’ Causes 158-Vehicle Pile-up With at Least 7 Dead

At least seven people were killed and dozens injured Monday when 158 vehicles crashed during “superfog” conditions on a Louisiana expressway, authorities said.

Additional motorists could be discovered dead as first responders sift through the burnt-out and mangled cars involved in a series of pile-ups in both directions on Interstate 55, Louisiana State Police said.

The exact number of injured is not known but at least 25 people were rushed to area hospitals with injuries ranging from minor to critical.

Gov. John Bel Edwards issued a call for blood donors to replenish supplies following the crashes.

Officials said the devastation may have been caused by superfog — a combination of smoke from nearby marsh fires and thick fog — that severely limited visibility on the roadway. (Read more from “‘Super Fog’ Causes 158-Vehicle Pile-up With at Least 7 Dead” HERE)
