Dense Fog in Copiah, Mississippi

Two eighteen-wheel tractor trailer vehicles collided on Interstate 55 northbound at mile marker 63, resulting in one fatality. The visibility was reduced by dense fog in the area of the accident, and Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesmen stated that they believe fog was a factor in the accident. The dense fog was patchy, as most official observing sites across central and southern Mississippi were reporting visibility of several miles at 3 am.

Patchy dense fog developed on the morning of the 28th across south-central Mississippi. A vehicle accident on I-55 north of Brookhaven resulted in one fatality. Dense fog in the area was cited as a contributor to the accident.
