Kind of a wild sight to see the news anchors doing live reports with a winter fireworks display taking place in the background. Also hearing a semi carrying corrosive acid was involved as well.

You must not have driven on an ice-sheet highway before. Believe it or not many of the cars that slide into the pile-up are completely helpless.

Even if you were to managed to stop by going a slow speed, you would get rear-ended.

[Rake2204]

Highway still not open, over 24 hours since the incident - which I suppose makes sense considering 193 cars had to be cleared.

[Milbuck]

Fake.
