18 Car Pile Up
GAINESVILLE, Florida. a 18 Car Pile-Up south of Gainesville on both sides of Interstate 75, which had been closed for a time before the accidents because of the mixture of fog and heavy smoke from a brush fire that may have been intentionally set. Some cars and trucks burst into flames, drivers were instantly blinded. At least 10 people were killed. When rescuers first arrived, they could only listen for screams and moans because the poor visibility made it difficult to find victims in wreckage. Cars appeared to have smashed into the Tractor Trailers and some cars were crushed beneath them.
The fire had burned 62 acres and was contained but still burning Sunday. Four years ago, heavy fog and smoke were blamed for another serious crash. In January 2008, four people were killed and 38 injured in a series of similar crashes on Interstate 4 between Orlando and Tampa, about 125 miles south of Sunday's crash. More than 70 vehicles were involved in those crashes, including one pileup that involved 40 vehicles.
