Seven people were killed and more than two dozen others were injured in crashes involving at least 158 vehicles on a Louisiana interstate Monday, state police said. There were several “multiple-vehicle” crashes in the northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 55, beginning at mile marker 22, and a stretch of the crash scene caught fire, state police said.
State police cautioned drivers about fog in a Facebook post about the crashed Monday morning. 'There is heavy fog in the area and drivers should avoid the area if possible and use alternate routes,' the post said. Video of the aftermath of the pileup shows foggy conditions and at least one instance of pickup on top of another vehicle. There were multiple fires, including marsh fires, in the area, the National Weather Service in New Orleans said Monday on X.
