| episode_narrative | Following the very substantial rain for the 3-day period from the 7th through the 9th of the month, high pressure aloft built and resided over Interior Central California. This weather regime, quite conducive to dense morning fog formation, established itself between the 10th and 13th, and maintained itself through the end of the month. The fog was especially widespread from the 14th through the morning of the 21st. Numerous vehicle accidents occurred due to the extremely poor visibilities on Central and Southern San Joaquin Valley roadways...especially during the week starting the 18th. During this week there were 4 indirect traffic fatalities due to the dense fog with at least 32 injuries. Specifically on the 20th, 50 trucks and cars were involved in multi-vehicle pile-ups in a 3-mile stretch of Highway 99 just north of the Merced-Madera County Line...and in Tulare County a couple of multi-vehicle pileups occurred in the dense fog. Also on the 20th, a series of 8 accidents occurred just north of the Madera-Fresno County Line on Highway 99 resulting in injuries and damage. On the morning of the 22nd, there were several separate accidents due to locally dense fog in North Kings and West Tulare Counties that resulted in indirect injuries. |
