That's the second multi vehicle/MCI, fog related incident for SE Texas in the last year. Same EMS group but different fire depts this time.

It never ceases to amaze me that the worse the wreck appears the fewer the serious injuries or deaths yet the wrecks that look minor seem to to end up with serious injuries or deaths.
