130 Cars in Foggy UK Pile-up

BY BRIANA ALTERGOTT

More than 100 vehicles were damaged in a series of crashes on the A249 Sheppey crossing in Kent, England, on Thursday morning. Authorities were called to the scene around 7 a.m. to find 130 wrecked cars strung all along the bridge that connects the Isle of Sheppey to the Kent mainland.

“It was very bad.”

“And how upsetting was it?”

“Extremely. I was so glad to realize that we were okay.”

“Actually, there was a worse accident in front of me. So it became a domino effect, really, cars colliding into each other. And people were badly hurt actually, yeah.”

Dozens of people were taken to a nearby hospital, and about 200 people were treated by emergency responders at the crash site. No fatalities have been reported.

Officials aren’t sure enough what caused the massive crash, but they suspect the thick fog that covered the crossing early Thursday morning could have something to do with it.

“We know that visibility is very bad. i understand the visibility was down to about 25 meters with thick fog. .....I’ve been doing this job for over 20 years. I’ve never seen anything this size or scale before.”

Officials have voiced concerns about lighting on the bridge before and have said they will talk to police about whether poor lighting played a role in the crashes.

• A. UK government

• B. A victim of the crash
