We all know too well how bad this area gets when it is foggy. People go far too fast for conditions through there and unfortunately this scene has been played out too often. Prayers to all involved. More info to come; Please post any new info you see. http://www.galaxgazette.com/content/multiple-fatalities-reported-massive-i-77-crash Press release from VDOT announces that Interstate 77 both North & Southbound is closed. http://www.virginiadot.org/news/resources/Salem/salem_77.pdf

I've been down that hill plenty of times scared out of my mind in the fog, only to see cars AND trucks pass me like it was nothing smh, I pray for everyone involved.

Prayers for everyone involved. Accidents like this are horrific anytime, but when linked with a holiday, it seems to make it is even worse.
thecleaninglady and USA12FOX Thank this. -

Please slow down, and leave yourself a way out! Do this everyday until it becomes the way you drive. You will find it less stressfull and you will save money, time and maybe a life.
critters, USA12FOX, rjones56 and 1 other person Thank this. -
I'm glad I went through there yesterday evening instead of today...
Lots of 4's driving like idiots on I-81 today, and not a cop to be seen anywhere. For some reason they like to barrel down the left lane until they get next to a big truck, then they slow down and match its speed. It's time that LaHood's gang set their sights on enforcement of laws where 4 wheelers are concerned and the idiot behavior of their drivers. And I'm not just talking about speeding.USA12FOX Thanks this. -
Sport teams that play down to the level of there competition usually lose the game. You are a proffesional driver dont do the same. An ignorant nation will never be free! TJ. Raise up above your enviroment dont become part of it.
thecleaninglady Thanks this. -
AMEN to that! One of my biggest pet peeves is following distance! Especially in adverse weather conditions. My life and the lives of those around me are more important than anything!

Exactly. Never drive to the IQ of the other drivers. Drive the safest, most responsible way you can.
