Dozens of trucks and cars involved. Cause was a dust storm that reduced visibility to zero. Topsoil from local farms blowing across the highway. I-55 closed for cleanup until tomorrow. Injured range from 2 to 80 years old.

    Drove in a blizzard with no salt or special tires. If I stopped I'd be stuck in the middle of nowhere for a day or two. I was so relieved when I got to my friends house which was close by but I barely got there

    A truck slid and flipped off the road in front of me, asked the guy if he needed help but he said he'd just walk

        Yeah I just kept my car inching up a hill. Kept the wheel straight and stayed slow. Dudes were going so fast through it and flipping their cars cause they think four wheel drive makes them god

          Yeah, people don't get that four wheel drive just makes it easier to start and get traction (which is nice tbh) but it does jack-all for handling at speed. I think the best car I've ever driven in the snow was a Rabbit, because it's tires were so thin that it was like ice staking.
