Both directions of Interstate 55 northwest of New Orleans are closed after a series of 25 multi-car pileups killed two people in zero visibility, according to the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff.
Wildfires in the drought-stricken state have been burning all summer. The combination of smoke and fog turned deadly.

super fogdrivers who don’t know how to adapt driving speed and safety distance to visibility conditions.Fixed that for you
I hate driving in bad conditions. Not because I’m bad, but because people are fucking idiots and will be doing 90 with zero visibility

I hate that so many people would argue that’s a legitimate reason.

Never outrun your headlights or your visibility.
Or your breaks if raining or similar.
But on the other hand, every second you spend inside the fog puts you at risk. The safest thing you can do is clear the fog as quickly as possible.
The safest thing you can do is pull well off the road, turn off your lights, and wait for the fog to pass.
Also get out your phone because you can sell the footage of the subsequent accident to news channels.
