Lake Placid wildfire smoke led to an accident today on a highway in central Florida. A wildfire spiraled out of control, its smoke creating foggy conditions on the highway. The crash took place on U.S. 27 near Lake Placid.
The accident involved two trucks and two vehicles, though there might have been more. One car was wedged between a dump truck and flatbed when responders came to the scene. Somebody shared a video driving through the area with zero visibility. You could barely see anything in front of you in that area.
The highway was shut down in both directions for a few hours. There is no word on the condition of those injured as of right now. The accident, a pileup, was very serious in nature.
