Massive 150-Vehicle Pileup In Louisiana Leaves 7 Dead, 25 Injured.

Seven people were killed, and at least two dozen others were injured on Monday when a dense “super fog” over New Orleans severely limited visibility for drivers on an interstate and caused a massive multi-car pileup, authorities said.
The series of crashes — involving at least 158 vehicles — began just before 9 a.m. on Interstate 55 and stretched along a one-mile span of the highway, Louisiana State Police spokesperson Sgt. Kate Stegall told weather.com. According to reports, at least three 18-wheelers were involved in the crash, with at least two fully engulfed in flames.

Stegall said they expect the highway to remain closed until crews complete the interstate inspection.
The fatal incident left at least 25 people injured, some in critical condition, who were transported to nearby hospitals.
Louisiana State Police reportedly said more fatalities could be discovered as crews continue to clear up the debris of charred and crumbled vehicles that crashed in both directions of the Louisiana expressway.
According to Tyler Stanfield, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in New Orleans, the mix of moisture and smoke from a wildfire across the Mississippi River caused the dense fog.
“It’s the perfect storm,” Stanfield reportedly said.
Stanfield said New Orleans typically sees the super fog twice a year, usually from swamp fires that frequently occur in the region in the Fall due to dry conditions.
