About The Pileup:


        Smoke from a brush fire mixed with early morning fog was blamed for a pileup of at least 70 vehicles in Polk County, which Sheriff Grady Judd called "the worst you’ve ever seen."
        At least four people were killed and at least 38 were injured, many of them seriously.
        About 20 of the vehicles involved were tractor-trailer rigs and tankers, and at least one caught fire, sparking a blaze that spread to at least a dozen other vehicles.
        Up to 100 people were involved, Judd said.
