A “superfog” of smoke from south Louisiana marsh fires and dense morning fog has caused massive vehicle crashes, killing at least seven people
Workers remove heavily damaged vehicles from Interstate 55 near Manchac, La., Monday, Oct. 23, 2023. A “superfog” of smoke from south Louisiana marsh fires and dense morning fog caused multiple traffic crashes involving scores of cars Monday, turning I-55 near New Orleans into a narrow junkyard of mangled cars and trucks, some of them burning.
Videos of the wreck showed what looked like an endless junkyard of cars overtaking the busy interstate near the community of Manchac. Vehicles were crushed, rammed under one another and some were engulfed by flames. Many people stood on the side of the road looking in disbelief at the disastrous scene, while others remained in their car waiting for aid.
“It was ‘Boom. Boom.’ All you kept hearing was crashing for at least 30 minutes,” Reed said. She was able to scramble out of her car, but her wife was pinned inside and injured her leg and side.
