Last wednesday, thick fog (where at sometimes there was only a visible distance of about 50 feet) was a determining factor in several multi-vehicle accidents including all types of motor vehicles, incluidng: cars, trucks, motorcycles and SUVs.  The number and severity of the injuries ranged from severe bleeding, brain injuries, and broken bones to minor scratches.  A police officer at one of the car accient scenes stated that there were so many injuries that all ambulances were being used - so the emergency medical personnel were being stretched to their ultimate limits.

These multi-vehicle pileups occurred at various locations Highway 43 at Kansas in the South Valley while various other multi-vehicle crashes resulted on Highway 198.  There was also major injuries on Highway 41 near Conejo in Fresno County.

With respect to the accident on Highway 43, it occurred just after 8:00 AM. Two cars collided which resulted in backing up traffic and creating further delays.  This crash directly resulted in creating a four vehicle (car, motorcycle, SUV, big rig, etc.) accident.

Less than an hour after these motor vehicle accidents on Highway 43, six (6) separate accidents resulted on Highway 198 at Second Street, east of Hanford. In these separate accidents, there were a total of 15 (fifteen) vehicles, including two (2) big rigs which caused the higway to be closed.  Amongst these various accidents, only two people had serious enough injuries (and did not waive their right) to be taken to the hospital.

Approximately an hour after this second send of crashes occurred, on Highway 41 near Conejo in Fresno County,  two cars collided.  This car accident resulted in traffic backing up on this Fresno county highway which led to twelve (12) other vehicles either crashing, colliding or getting into an accident.  This Fresno County highway shut down for a little over two hours as the injured were cared for and the higway was cleared up debris and the cars involved in the accidents were removed and towed away.
