Horrible!

Yes.

Horrible!

Ten people were killed early Sunday morning in a string of crashes involving about 20 vehicles on Interstate 75 near Gainesville after smoke from a brush fire on Paynes Prairie reduced visibility to nearly zero.

Witnesses described hitting a wall of smoke so thick they could not see the car in front of them, and then hearing collisions and the screams of the trapped and dying.

Mangled sedans, semitrailers and sport utility vehicles littered the highway in both directions, a half-mile going north, a half-mile going south of the first crashes.

In addition to the fatalities, 21 people were treated for their injuries at two area hospitals— 18 at Shands at the University of Florida, with six in the trauma center and 12 in the emergency room, and three at North Florida Regional Medical Center
