Fog-Related Pileup

[scannerboy02]

Anyone hear this? Recordings?

FRESNO, Calif. - The California Highway Patrol says about a dozen people have been injured and 50 vehicles damaged in a fog-related pileup south of Fresno.
The chain-reaction accident Tuesday morning shut down a portion of Highway 99's southbound lanes and scattered broken glass and mangled cars along a three-mile stretch in Kingsburg. Visibility was just 50 feet when CHP officers got to the scene.
CHP Officer Joseph Miller says three people had to be extracted from a car that slammed into a big rig. All victims have been transported to local hospitals.

still a bad pile up, but it's funny how national news reported at 4 pm a 50 plus pile up but kgo radio reported and down graded the pile up to no more than 18 vehicles. Still bad, but not as bad as the last pile up south of Fresno.

[Eng74]

We have one or two of them happen every year. People still have not learned to slow down when you can't see, they still drive 80 and don't think twice about it.

[emt_531]

It didnt sound that bad on the scanner this morning. It was several small collisions in one area, not a big pileup.
