At least 7 people were killed after a 'superfog' of smoke from Louisiana marsh fires and dense fog caused car crashes involving 158 vehicles, authorities say.
At least seven people were killed Monday morning after a “superfog” of smoke from south Louisiana marsh fires and dense fog caused multiple massive car crashes involving a total of 158 vehicles, authorities said. Twenty-five people were injured and the number of fatalities may increase as first responders work into the night clearing the scenes and searching for victims, Louisiana State Police said in a statement Monday evening.
While 25 people were transported to the hospital, with injuries ranging from minor to critical, many others sought medical aid on their own, authorities said. Gov. John Bel Edwards asked for prayers “for those hurt and killed' on Monday and issued a call for blood donors to replenish dwindling supplies.
