Galveston accident lawyer presents a catalog of some of the most catastrophic multi-vehicle pileups in United States history

Galveston accident lawyer's list of some of the worst multi-vehicle crashes in U.S. motor transportation history:



  1. On December 1, 2011 at Saundersville Road and Tennessee State Route 386 (aka Vietnam Veterans Blvd) in Summer County, 176 vehicles collided in three distinct chain-reaction wrecks resulting in 1 fatality and 15 to 20 injuries. Reports blamed the multi- vehicle wreck on extremely heavy fog.

  1. January 9, 2008 saw 4 people die and almost 40 suffer injuries on I-4 in north central Florida when 70 vehicles collided in a major pileup. Fog that mixed with smoke from a controlled fire that went out-of-control caused a sudden lack of visibility and the consequent catastrophic multi-vehicle wreck.

  1. On November 5, 2007, 2 people lost their lives and dozens more received injuries in a multi-vehicle wreck involving more than 100 cars, trucks, and buses. The pileup occurred on Highway 99 south of Fresno, CA from the "tulle fog" that's a frequent feature of the fall and winter months there.

  1. January 12, 2005 marks the day of a 200-vehicle pileup on I-96 in Ingham County, MI that left 2 dead and 35 more injured. Dense fog was to blame for the multi-vehicle wreck.

  1. Another 200-vehicle pileup due to fog occurred on March 20, 1995 on the Jubilee Parkway in Mobile, AL. The multi-vehicle wreck included cars, trucks, and other vehicles and left 1 dead and approximately 90 people injured.

  1. On December 2, 1994 on I-35 in San Antonio, TX, sun glare and rain-slick roads led to a 127-vehicle pileup that caused 67 injuries.

  1. December 11, 1990 saw a fiery and deadly multi-vehicle wreck on I-75 in Calhoun, TN due to extremely heavy fog. The fiery pileup included 99 vehicles and resulted in 12 fatalities and 42 injuries.
