Wow - Prayers sent. Lives changed in the blink of a moment...

Multi-vehicle pileup on I-90 near Billings shuts down travel in both directions

The pileup involved 30 or more vehicles, including semi-trucks, on the bridge crossing the Yellowstone River near mile marker 452.

Damn that’s a rough one....one bad move and so many impacted lives
Same as this one... happened not far from my daughters the morning after we flew into town:

At least 6 dead in 133-car pileup in Fort Worth after freezing rain coats roads

Correction: An earlier version of this story said that Garland Police Department responded to 13 major accidents and 54 minor ones by 10 a.m. Thursday. It was...

I know they always say don’t outdrive the conditions in winter weather, I wish some folks wouldn’t drive at all.

It's been absolutely horrible month with wrecks here. Prayers to all the families involved. Just no words for it.

I was in a 14 car in Nevada. Nobody died thankfully. Still remember the crunching sounds. mtmuley

I’ve been in a few wrecks but only one involving another car(s). Was driving a company truck slowly through a construction zone and the pilot car came to a stop as did I behind it. Young girl barreled into the ass end of my rig, next car back (another teen) ran into her and knocked her into me a second time . Yep they were going just a tad too fast. My boss was pissed (not at me thankfully) as my rig was only two weeks old

Hate seeing these prayers for those involved

Holy smokes! 2 people fell 100ft off that bridge and only 1 serious injury and no fatalities? Somebody was looking out for those folks.

OMG ...that is too close to my neck of the woods. My wife went to a friend's house this morning on Norrish road near 115. This is the first I've heard of it.

Probably human smuggling with 27 people in an SUV.

Cause is self evident. Impossible to operate a vehicle safely with four people sitting on driver's lap. Probably illegal immigrants - a bunch of African pygmies?

Saw a Suburban fly over East bound I-8 just outside Ocotillo many years ago. We were headed down for a pheasant hunt, guy in the Suburban was West bound, most likely fell asleep and drifted left and down between the east/west lanes. Next thing you know he was flying over the eastbound lanes, in between me and my buddy behind me.

We went back, expecting dead guys, they were just a little bloody in the face. We had called 911, BP was first on scene. He took one look at the vehicle and said "you need to leave now".... Drug runners.
