2 dead, 24 vehicles in I-55 foggy crash
Spread The Viralist



What appears to be a chain-reaction crash involving multiple vehicles has led to one death and traffic closed on I-55 in both directions Monday morning.

In addition, traffic on I-10 headed in both directions is closed and traffic is being diverted to I-310 headed toward Baton Rouge.

Social media videos and posts show near-zero visibility in some areas and another image showed a major vehicle fire.

  1. If people can't be trusted to slow down in these kinds of weather conditions, then maybe some legislation to force them to do so should be enacted. Just like the law to turn on your headlights in rain, and wear a seatbelt, let's introduce legislation to reduce traffic speed limits to 25-30mph during foggy conditions. $150 fine for speeding could be a good first penalty.

  2. Doesn’t matter younger or older all drivers seen never follow rules of the road over speeding, never using turn signals, flash lights, break lights or switch on head lights during dark or heavy fogs conditions or rainy/snowy slippery conditions. Specially pick up trucks and suv drivers are more aggressive reckless driving and uncourteous creating dangerous accidents situations, now a days hwy police rarely find monitoring traffic speeding or safety patrolling.😮😮

  3. I crossed the Causeway northbound at 6 am in the dark. Only a few cars both ways. I heard they had accidents and shut the bridge down quickly – working from home tomorrow

  4. Wow, that is really sad.

    The fog is really dangerous!!!!

    If "you" can't see where your car is going you're not really in control of your car!
