LARAMIE, Wyo. Trucks and cars piled into one another Monday in dense fog on Interstate 80 in southeast Wyoming, resulting in a fiery chain-reaction crash that killed one person, injured 16 and sent up a column of thick black smoke.

They said that people feel they have slowed down as soon as they enter fog, so they tromp on the gas.
Proving for the umpteenth time that most people are morons.

Trucks bomb down I 80 at 75 mph regardless of the weather. They create whiteouts for other vehicles they pass when it is snowing. They and their companies apparently figure staying on a time schedule is worth the danger.
