Big accident

[wvjules]

I just heard on our local news that there was a huge accident on I-68 in Garrett County Marlyland. 70 cars approximately, only 2 dead. The interstate is closed in both directions for about 15 miles!!!

YIKES!!!

Is it because of fog or rain or what? I cant imagine 70 cars hitting each other without some kind of weather reason...


Fog!!!

That is a bad stretch of highway. We travel that road frequently to visit relatives - I hate it. It was particularly bad when we returned from our trip at Thanksgiving. It was snowing so badly that you couldn't see a thing. We wanted to get a hotel for the night but there are none. I was actually praying the rosary during that stretch.

Now saying up to 150 cars

I hate driving that piece of highway and I'm used to hills and curves.

I heard it would be at least 10 hours before they could have it cleared.
