Worse fog predicted for Wednesday after 50+ vehicle pile-up on Louisiana bridge in dense fog
More fog is predicted for Southeast Louisiana on Wednesday morning after a serious pile-up in foggy conditions on Tuesday.
The Dense Fog Advisory will go into effect for Southeast Louisiana at midnight on Wednesday, December 18th and last through about 10 a.m. the same day.
According to WDSU News, fog was seen in the areas of The Causeway bridge and Lake Pontchartrain on Monday and Tuesday mornings. Poor visibility caused by the fog is thought to have caused the 50 vehicle pile-up on the Causeway bridge on Tuesday morning. 33 people were hurt and at least 30 were left stranded on The Causeway bridge in the incident, which The Causeway Police Department says may be the worst accident in the bridge’s history.
Wednesday’s fog is predicted to be more impactful than the previous two days, which did not see official fog advisories. Drivers are advised to use caution during their morning commutes.
