This happened maybe 30 miles from where I live. Way to go, Californians.

Nope not just in the US, we had a really bad one 10 years ago:

For sheer scale, however, none of these incidents compare with the dramatic accidents that sometimes occur on motorways. One such was the massive pile-up in fog on the M42 in the West Midlands in March 1997. The crash involving 90 vehicles, some of which caught fire, turned a half-mile stretch of the motorway into a scene one motorist described as “like a battle zone in Bosnia”. Three people were killed and 62 injured. The failure of motorists to adjust their speeds to conditions was widely blamed


Unsafe at any speed
