A “superfog” made of smoke from marsh fires and dense fog took over parts of Louisiana and caused at least two dozen traffic accidents Monday, including multi-car pileups involving over 100 cars on interstate highways, leaving two people dead and at least 30 injured, Axios New Orleans reported.
Several sections of Interstates 55 and 10 west of New Orleans were closed on Monday causing traffic congestions and delays, while the 24-mile-long causeway over Lake Pontchartrain near New Orleans was also closed at intervals. Nola.com, quoting officials of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, reported that the Causeway bridge was closed in both directions as dense fog made it “nearly impossible” for drivers to see and that road visibility was near zero in the area.
