TL;DR Summary

At least seven people have died and 25 others injured in New Orleans as a dense "super fog" caused a series of traffic pileups involving 158 vehicles on Interstate 55. The fog, a combination of moisture in the air and smoke from marsh fires, reduced visibility to as low as one-eighth of a mile. Some vehicles caught fire, and a tanker truck carrying hazardous liquid was being removed. The Louisiana State Police closed parts of several interstates and warned drivers to avoid the area.
