"Deadly Superfog Causes Multiple Crashes on I-10 near New Orleans"

Dense smoke from wildfires burning in the region caused a series of crashes on Interstate 10 outside New Orleans, resulting in at least one death and eight injuries. The smoke, trapped under a temperature inversion, reduced visibility to near-zero, leading to the accidents. The Michoud Fire, which has been burning for a month, has scorched about 200 acres. Officials are working to extinguish the blaze, which is in a remote location with no hydrant access. Similar dangerous conditions are expected to return on Wednesday morning, with fog alerts issued for several areas. This incident follows a recent pileup caused by super fog on Interstate 55 that killed seven people.
