Police: Fog a factor in deadly chain-reaction crash on Oregon highway Brain fog would be the factor. If you can't stop before you travel past where you can see when you hit stop, that isn't weather fog, that is brain fog! ![]() |

Police: Fog a factor in deadly chain-reaction crash on Oregon highwayFog was a factor, but the main cause was people that weren't smart enough to drive according to the prevailing conditions. Edit- Gary beat me to it. Grant Darwin NT |

Travelers to Grímsfjall need to check that a quite large crack has opened in the middle of the road on the east way up to Fjall, between driving points that are named A1 and A2. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

There is a tiny bit of good news - everyone got off uninjured. That's one heck of a mess to clear up. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Ouch, what a shocking test. How long before it's standard on all vehicles? |

It could've easily been much worse. :-O Wisconsin police say driver with blood alcohol level three times legal limit slams into multiple cars at 9 am. |

A bit of background and further information on this flight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdiNiJS5BJ4 The cabin on that flight was a very uncomfortable and disturbing place to be, but the cockpit must have been really scary. Well done to the flight crew on getting that aircraft onto the ground. Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Yet another example of why morons and motorised vehicles aren't a good combination. Tyre marks indicate it crossed several verges and a side street before smashing through Mr Olson's fence and hedge. Grant Darwin NT |

Would be interesting to find out if it was drink driving and/or drugs or just remote chance just moronic driving. |
