‘Like Something Out of a Movie’: 2 Die as Pileup Closes Calif. Highway
Dense fog along a busy highway was blamed for a massive pileup of as many as 100 cars, killing two people and injuring dozens, the California Highway Patrol said.
At least nine big rigs were involved in the pileup on northbound Highway 99 just south of Fresno, CHP officials said. No hazardous materials were spilled.
“It looked like something out of a movie, walking up and seeing all the cars mangled and crushed,” said CHP Officer Paul Solorzano, Jr.
