Multiple people were injured in a pileup of dozens of vehicles on a California highway this week amid dense fog, authorities said.
The crash happened the morning of Jan. 27 on the eastbound lanes of Highway 58 near Bakersfield, according to the Kern County Fire Department, which responded alongside other agencies. At least 30 vehicles were involved in the pileup.
Photos and video shared by the fire department and the California Highway Patrol showed the aftermath, with multiple semi-trucks and passenger vehicles crashed. A thick layer of fog was visible. In some images, first responders were seen on the scene with debris scattered around from the wreck after some fog had cleared.
The region remains under a dense fog advisory through noon on Jan. 28, and another will be in place later in the day until Jan. 29, according to the National Weather Service.
