Two people have died and over 50 have been injured as more than 100 vehicles piled up on a foggy interstate highway in southeastern Texas on Thanksgiving Day, according to RussiaToday. 

Some sources say that as many as 80 people may have been injured in the accident. But hospital officials only confirm 51 people, with eight of them in critical condition. 

Multiple ambulance crews took injured people to at least five different hospitals in the area.

The massive accident happened on highway I-10, on the eastbound side, around 8 am local time. At least seven tractor trailers were involved, some of them carrying hazardous materials, but they are not leaking, local officials said.

Firefighters had to use the ‘jaws of life’ to cut people out of a car and pickup truck, Chief Charles Sonnier of the Labelle-Fannett Volunteer Fire Department was quoted as saying by KFDM News.

I-10 West has been reopened, while I-10 East will remain closed for another 8-10 hours. 

Authorities say the chain reaction accident happened because of extremely dense fog in the area.

  • Anyways, even if they had reached their destination, they weren’t going to do anything extraordinary to uplift the consciousness of human race….

    The article is misleading…The highway was chaotic as sheep’s were going back to their homes on black friday weekend and spend time with their family to buy China made crap.

    I have news, No Conspiracy theorist or readers of Beforeitsnews were injured, as they know, in these times, only sheeps and zombie come out in full force to buy crap in malls.

    • These were people going about their daily business, and more than likely, a good amount of traffic may have been people going to visit family for Thanksgiving.

      If Anon was able to read, this occurred early in the morning. Black friday is tomorrow.

      I signed up to BIN to make this reply, because I feel I might give you a bit of perspective.

      You speak of sheeps, and upliftment.

      Two people have died, many injured, yet you have no remorse to human loss, or compassion. To you, they are below you. You are high and mighty, and these “Sheeps” are unworthy slaves to corporations.

      “Chinese Crap” as you call it are typically manufactured by hard working people with family in mind.

      You speak of upliftment of the consciousness of the human race? You haven’t done any of that in this post, you really need to find out what it is you believe, and stick with it.

      Have a heart, if you aren’t just for a second emotionally concerned, you aren’t human.

        “upliftment of the consciousness of the human race?”

        What have you done to stop war today?

  • They got there quickly…Tell me…Does anyone see that alleged “FOG” anywhere in those pics? I live in Texas, near Houston. I didn’t see any fog.
