Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeLocalized dense fog contributed to a 40 vehicle traffic accident on Interstate 10 during the early morning hours.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA multiple vehicle accident with several fatalities, numerous injuries and a large societal impact occurred in the pre-dawn hours along a stretch of Interstate Highway 10 in a marshy area in New Orleans East around 430 am CST. Patchy radiational fog was developing, with smoke from a local ongoing peat sub-surface fire a potentially additional contributing factor to restricting visibility. Forty vehicles, including numerous freight tractor-trailers, and early morning commuters, were involved on both the east and westbound lanes of Interstate 10. The interstate was closed for approximately 12 hours after the accident.
