TL;DR Summary
A massive pileup involving at least 158 vehicles on Interstate 55 in Louisiana resulted in seven deaths and over 25 injuries. The accident occurred due to a combination of dense fog and smoke from wildfires, creating a "super fog" condition. Rescuers are still searching the crash site, and the death toll may rise. The scene caught fire, and a hazardous liquid truck had to be offloaded. Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards called for caution and blood donations, while schools in the area announced a delayed opening due to the fog. The National Weather Service warned of dense fog conditions and advised drivers to take precautions or delay travel.
