TL;DR Summary

A dense "super fog" caused a massive 158-car pile-up near New Orleans, resulting in at least seven deaths and 25 injuries. The fog, combined with smoke from marsh fires, severely reduced visibility on Interstate 55. Some vehicles caught fire, including a tanker truck carrying a hazardous liquid. The crash scene caught fire, and the motorway will remain closed until at least midday on Tuesday. The National Weather Service warned of similarly dangerous weather conditions later in the week. Louisiana has been dealing with wildfires, heatwaves, and droughts throughout the summer.
