Common sense states if you can’t stop in the distance you can see ahead, slow down. Save lives, quit being in a selfish hurry because you have problems

“I can’t see, i should speed up”

-probably these people

Fog doesn't cause accidents, distracted driving, speed and driving too fast for the conditions does.

Sounds like when certain conditions are taking place this bridge should be closed. Up north when the winter weather is going to be so severe that drivers can’t see, interstate roads are closed and no one is allowed to travel on them.

I blame dumb irrational driving for the accidents.
RIP to the deceased

News flash: auto Insurance Companies have left the building.

“Super fog”. Are you sure it wasn’t amazing fog or infinity fog. Maybe fear fog or panic fog…for the season. Lmao. Maybe it’s a sign of an impending double polar vortex!!

"There's something in the mist!!"

[tettazwo]

The fog is not to blame but incompetent motorists.

Mysterious fires popping up in Louisiana, Canada, too

Sounds like a lot of ppl who cant drive ....160 Like bro come on seems like ppl was driving regular speeds or over the speed limit in the SMOG. Some ppl just think they can drive normal in low visibility or slippery weather! Always use caution when driving in weather like that.

[vivavasquez]

SMOG is the real term for super fog, super fog sounds like a Disney ride .

[redbeardga]

Who would drive thru that. I've had to pull over before when bad storms have come

[hoppyandhisholidayhelpers]

smoke + fog = smog
you can call it super smog, or super dense smog with super low visibility,
but calling it super fog is just super stupid.

[mjef]

So it’s reported “Super fog”. This vocabulary adds to the climate change crisis. It was heavy or dense fog. People don’t slow down.

[MsJacksims]

Well i guess they shouldnt have been driving so close

[alk]

Yeah it's sad this happened but as a CDL driver I see a lot of stupidity on the road.

[josephwylupek]

The biggest problem is the people don’t slow down in the fog hello

[williamguru]

We used to just call it smog but before that we called it air pollution.

90% of drivers on the highway/interstate/freeway tailgate and have 0 sense of self preservation
