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.

      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.
