episode_narrativeDense patches of fog caused a multi-vehicle pileup about 2 miles east of Ridgeway (Iowa Co.) at 745 AM CST. One woman was killed as she collided with a semitrailer pulling onto Highway 18-151 at about 0745CST when visibilities were probably only zero to perhaps 50 yards. A few minutes later, a charter bus plowed into the semitrailer. Twelve people on the bus sustained minor injuries. Eventually this multi-vehicle accident would include one bus, three semitrailers, and four automobiles. The dense fog also caused 10 additional crashes within 2 miles of the initial crash scene. Dense fog patches also occurred over Lafayette County. The one death and 12 injuries are considered indirectly-related to the dense fog, consequently these numbers do not appear in the header strip above.
