Louisiana State Police said in a statement Monday that 25 people were injured and the number of fatalities may increase.
The massive crash killed at least seven people and set two tractor-trailers on fire
At least seven people were killed and dozens more injured in a massive pileup on Interstate 55 outside New Orleans on Monday, caused by a thick layer of super fog that dramatically reduced visibility. The FOX Forecast Center warned these dangerous conditions could continue Tuesday and Wednesday.
An estimated 158 vehicles were involved in Monday morning's crashes, according to the Louisiana State Police, who warned Monday night the death toll could climb as first responders looked for victims, the smell of burnt wreckage still heavy in the air.
