“Why is my insurance going up?”... BECAUSE OF THIS!!! Do every insurance agent in the world a favor, don’t ask that question at renewal. This is why.

Why is this on my feed

My prayers go out to those people God will be with them

I live in VA now, coming from Upstate NY, and my god people do not know how to drive down here. I guarantee it was started by some idiot going 95 weaving through traffic in the fog because he needed to get somewhere 3 seconds faster than the person in front of him.

Omg

No, they crashed because of drivers.

This has nothing to do with climate change...it’s a random event that has no cause or effect!

Lmao Virginia

Looks like the first scene from Cars

Sending prayers

And Virginia is in the US. And who is president of the US right now? That's right, it's the Orange Man. You do the math.

And the IllegalAliens driving GOT AWAY!!!! 🤣😜🤪😂

Chain reaction crash due to idiots tailgating and morons that can't stand to have anyone in front of them.

millj919 And I thought our local mall's parking lot was bad.

This shows that people need to learn to drive in this country. with fog, rain, snow, ice arent same as driving on a dry summer day.

Why does this always happen? If you leave space between cars and slow down, this won't happen. I've driven all over the world and have only had 1 fender bender.

Following distance people...

what!!

🙏all are well

Zigmanfreud Hwy. 64 (where it connects to Route 33) is practically in my backyard. This accident scenario played out on a stretch of road w/two lanes...The Fast lane, and the 'OMG that car just passed me and I'm already doing 80 mph just to keep w/the flow of traffic.'

I guess everyone is fine.. I hope this come to an end soon

That's quite the mess there and I bet a lot of people were driving way too fast for the weather conditions too. Should have pulled over in the fog if they couldn't even see who they were rear ending. Just hope everyone is OK

Doesn’t look foggy

The rush of Democrats escaping DC after last weeks failed impeachment.

It's not magic. It's ice and it's snow, respect its short takeover. I sometimes wonder which drivers cause the most damage - overconfident or panicky? I think about it a lot, because one panicky driver sent me under an Oxygen truck and out of work for three months.

Is it just me or does the weather in that picture seem... ... ... ... Perfectly fine?

Everyone who crashed like...

Not due to fog. It was driver stupidly

😨😨😨

Due to fog and ice and not at all to following too closely and driving too fast for conditions. Got it.

Impeach fog and ice!!

The good news is that only the complete morons crashed. 😊

_cocochernal tow companies lit today 😂

When there's ice, and fog, you slow down to a reasonable speed so you can see what's infront of you, bad drivers being bad drivers.

That looks like SpeakerPelosi fake Impeachment, also crashed and burned

What a mess. Sad

Fog and ice...deadly

Pro tip from someone in CO: if you see a patch of ice, do NOT slam on your breaks. Let off the gas and don’t use your breaks and as long as the road is straight you won’t crash. Trust me

Banyak kecelakaan di banyak negara seminggu terakhir. Disini 2 kecelakaam tragis total 14 nyawa hilang.

The end result of decades of cutting school funding.

I always worry about this

This is why I can't fool with living in areas that have ice and snow. In the words of Sweet Brown, 'ain't nobody got time for that'.

Unreal..

Holy moly!

Due to poor driving in bad conditions

Fog had little to do with it. It was driver stupidly

How tf is this even possible

WynnWs ShortyStacked please tell me you are not involved!

I hope no one was seriously injured!

I know the interstate well. The Southerners need less faith in God and more faith in their brakes.

I remember when cnn reported news like this. Now it’s 24/7 Trump talk.

Oh my, hope everyone is ok. Hate to see this happen to anyone at anytime but especially tough around the holidays 😞

Japan pays the world media for the royalties and refuses to admit its guilt as a war criminal nation.

Awful

amp2223 Omg

_ArriveAlive That's awful
