A combination of wildfire smoke and dense fog, billed as a 'superfog,' reportedly caused at least two dozen car accidents in southeastern Louisiana on Monday.
A 'superfog' made of smoke from marsh fires and dense fog was blamed for at least two dozen traffic accidents, including multi-car pileups, on interstate highways Monday in southeast Louisiana.
Sections of Interstates 55 and 10 west of New Orleans remained closed as of late morning. The 24-mile-long causeway over Lake Pontchartrain near New Orleans was closed at times. On social media, the National Weather Service said there were several wetland fires in the region. It said smoke from the fires mixed with fog to create a 'superfog.' Visibility was expected to improve as the fog lifted.
The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported several schools in and near New Orleans announced class cancellations or delayed openings due to the smoke and fog.
