Fog causes a 30-vehicle crash near Pocatello
A thick layer of fog near Pocatello, Idaho caused a 30-vehicle crash Monday night.
According to Idaho State Police, the fog quickly covered eastbound Interstate 86, which decreased visibility in a short amount of time. Vehicles then slowed down and ran into each other, causing a chain reaction ending in about 30 vehicles involved in the collision.
Traffic on I-86 was blocked between exit 56 and exit 59 for about seven hours as emergency responders and tow trucks assisted passengers and cleared the scene.
A few people were reportedly transported to local hospitals with minor injuries.
