About 50 cars crashed on a highway blanketed by fog and brush fire smoke in central Florida Wednesday, killing at least three people, authorities said.
Nearly 15 miles of Interstate 4 between Tampa and Orlando in central Florida were blocked after several accidents, including the 50-car pileup. Aerial footage showed a roadway with almost no visibility for miles, with a soupy mix of fog and smoke giving the skies an eerie golden color.
Polk County officials said a tanker overturned on the roadway, but it was unclear if the truck was part of the pileup.
“It’s been very difficult to see out there,” county spokeswoman Cindy Rodriguez said.
No further information was immediately available.
