Abstract:Florida nearly leads the nation in fatal vehicle crashes due to fog and smoke conditions. Between 2002 and 2009, 299 people in Florida died in vehicle crashes related to fog and smoke conditions. In January 2012, heavy fog and smoke were blamed for a crash on I-75 south of Gainesville, involving seven semi-trucks and 12 passenger cars, killing 11 and hospitalizing 18. Four years earlier, heavy fog and smoke were blamed for another serious crash on I-4 between Orlando and Tampa. This crash involved more than 70 vehicles, killing four people and injuring 38.
