The combination of morning fog and smoke from a nearby wildfire produced a 'super fog' that led to at least seven deaths in a traffic pileup of more than 150 vehicles near New Orleans on Oct. 23, police said. The dense mist drastically reduced visibility on Interstate 55 during the morning commute on a busy stretch of the highway. The devastating crashes led to multiple 18-wheelers and other vehicles being engulfed in flames and motorists being stranded for hours.
The fire has been burning for nearly three months since it was first caused by a lightning strike on July 29, according to NBC affiliate WDSU. Monday's catastrophic pileup also left dozens injured, police said. 'I’m still shaking at this very moment,' motorist Clarencia Readus told NBC News correspondent Morgan Chesky on TODAY on Oct. 24. From a nearby hospital, Readus recalled how the super fog impacted her and her wife, Lisa.
