Both directions of Interstate 55 northwest of New Orleans are closed after a series of multi-car pileups killed two people in zero visibility, according to the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff.
Marsh wildfires that have been smoldering since July flared up. A combination of the smoke and fog has been choking out greater New Orleans for two days. The NWS issued Dense Fog Advisories for most of southern Louisiana and Mississippi. Meteorologists called this. Moisture was released from the damp smoldering marshes and knocked visibility to below 10 feet.
"I happened to be in a little pocket of about probably 15 cars with no damage," said Lance Scott. "And probably two or 3 seconds after we came to a stop, you just heard boom, boom, boom, boom, collision after collision behind us." His photos showed an SUV wedged under a pickup truck. He said he smelled burned rubber and could hear burning tires popping.
