I finally found something on foxnews.com

CEDAR GROVE, Wis. — A fiery crash on a foggy interstate highway involving about 25 vehicles killed some people and sent at least 12 others to hospitals Friday, authorities said.


"I have been told there are fatalities. No number given," said Robert Young, deputy superintendent of the Wisconsin State Patrol. "There are a number of people injured. Everything is pretty much confusion."

Sheriff's authorities closed parts of Interstate 43 near the Sheboygan-Ozaukee county line after the 7:30 a.m. accident.

There was no immediate word from three area hospitals on the extent of the victims' injuries.

The accident involved at least 25 vehicles in both the southbound and northbound lanes. At least eight vehicles were on fire, Sheboygan County Sheriff's Captain Dave Adams said.

"It's very chaotic out there," he said. "It's very foggy."

A hazardous materials team was called to the scene because a semi carrying carbon dioxide was in danger of tipping over, Adams said.

Bonnie Depies, who works at a Citgo gas station about a mile from the crash scene, said fire departments had put out the fires by midmorning.

"It was very foggy when I got to work this morning, but you could see black smoke through the fog," she said.

Workers at the service station can normally see vehicles' lights on the highway in the early morning, but fog obstructed those lights Friday, Depies said.

Between the rain, fog, shootings and accidents it's really getting depressing. Let's hope for some good news out of all of this. (Actually the rain is good news since we're in a severe drought! Okay, I feel a little better.) Everyone stay safe out there!!

Some of the posts on here can be just as devistating as watch the news on TV. That is so sad and scarey at the same time

to our relatives in SE WI, so it's very scary to me, personally. Many years ago we had a close friend of the family killed in a similar multicar pileup due to fog on the Green Bay bridge. Prayers for all involved...

Hi Jody!
I am here safe and sound, and my parents are ok as well! They were heading out early and almost went that way! It does look awful! Prayers for everyone involved.

But it was bad, it was on all the news this mornings. That's no more than 20 miles north of my office here. Someone I am working with was in the MIDDLE of all that - thankfully he had pulled way off the road but he said he could hear accidents happening behind him and couldn't see them cause of the fog. He walked off the highway and went back at 3 today and a state trooper brought him his car, which was untouched. Thank heaven for at least one small miracle.
