Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeStrong high pressure in place with a moist boundary layer produced prime conditions for radiation fog. Temperatures dipped into the mid-twenties overnight into the early morning hours with dense fog reported. The combination of thick fog and freezing temperatures likely resulted in some riming on area roadways.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeFreezing fog resulted in icy conditions on an overpass along Interstate 90 in Medical Lake. A pickup truck heading eastbound was driving too fast for the conditions and lost control. The pickup truck proceeded to swerve into the opposite lane triggering a multiple vehicle collision. One of the vehicles involved in the collision was a semi-truck that collided into two other vehicles; one of the vehicles struck by the semi-truck resulted in a fatality; eight other injuries were also reported with the accident. The eastbound lanes of Interstate 90 were blocked just west of the Four Lakes exit for hours.
