Truck carrying 44,000 lbs of fireworks catches fire in 100+ car pileup on freeway.

Apparently another truck with some hazardous materials caught fire as well. Other reports said this accident involved 50 semis and 80 cars across both east and west bound directions.

And just yesterday there was a 50+ car pile up just a short distance NW or so of this one. All these late winters and people forget to drive carefully.

Somewhere, within eyesight or earshot of this wreck, someone was listening to the 1812 Overture and had their mind utterly blown.

I liked this reply.

Not to make too much light of the fatality and injuries. But..

How do you even get to a hundred cars? A couple of trucks transporting vehicles to dealerships?

I think the final count was closer to 200. And I think they count any vehicles in the pile up even if not directly crashed.

If you look up videos of it you can see dozens of cars sitting crashed and even burning yet out of the white suddenly a few headlights appear moving at high speeds and plowing through the accident unable to stop. Driving too fast for conditions. If you can only see 50 feet in front of your car you should be driving slow enough so you can come to a stop in 50 feet.

At some point all the piles of cars, fire, and explosions has to be big enough that people stop far enough away to not crash into it, ya'nnow? And this one had fireworks.

Eh. Newly hardened black ice and an obstructed view, not that crazy to see this many cars driving into it.

How about the ton of fireworks going off, though?

Modern vehicles and low visibility I doubt they could see or hear the fireworks when they were driving toward the accident.
