CHP Officer Adrian Gonzalez, according to SFGATE, said that arriving units “found carnage out there,” and that cars and trucks were “turned over and up on each other, under each other.”

Images of the crash, which prompted a six-hour closure of north and southbound lanes, showed several big rigs involved in the pile-up and other vehicles sustaining severe damage that left some of them looking unrecognizable.

    The problem with the fog in that part of the Central Valley is that it’s highly variable in opacity. You can drive and think you are seeing a mile ahead, and for a long time you are, and then suddenly there is a denser pocket and you don’t know you are blind to what’s coming.

    Definitely the kind of place that would massively benefit from high-speed rail.

      Not to fight your point, (totally agree, fuck cars) but everywhere could benefit from local rail.

        Very true. I was just making a dig at the freezing of the planning and construction of the high speed rail line there.
