It would be interesting to find out if any of these accidents involved trucks travelling into our country from Mexico......

Just a thought.....

This is the second large accident in the past month that involved nine big-rigs.

I imagine we will never be told.

No.1 : It's not an unusual event there due to the unstable fog conditions

No. 2: I didn't see where the big rigs were at fault...maybe they were, maybe not. Regular drivers are, for the most part, clueless on how to drive safely around the big rigs - the big rig drivers are put in more dangerous situations than you can shake a stick at by the regular drivers.

No. 3: Everything bad that happens in the US is not due to Mexicans - (and don't bother trying to paint me as an illegal sympathizer - I'm far from it. I just like to take each situation on it's face value until and if more facts present themselves rather than painting with a wide swatch...)

That's just my thought

Aside from weather causes, people drive 70 miles an hour with little space between them and cars in front. Somebody ahead breaks or slows and the rear piles up like dominoes. Part of it is stupidity but even people practicing defensive driving have to pay the price.

Too many cars on the road and too many people in a hurry.

So what if a few of the trucks involved were Mexican? The fog doesn't care where the darn truck comes from. Zero visibility is zero visibility.

We were having vehicle pileups in Tule fog since long before Mexican trucks started driving here.
