Abstract

The situation that existed before, and during the series of multivehicle collisions which occurred under fog and smoke conditions on a high- speed highway in New Jersey, is described and analyzed. 66 Motor vehicles were involved, 9 persons were killed and 39 others were injured. The probable cause of this series of multivehicle collisions was the penetration of vehicles into areas of severely reduced visibility due to fog and smoke and the delay in closing the affected highway.
