On Thursday, there was a massive pileup of vehicles on a bridge in England that left dozens injured.
According to NPR, as many as 100 to 130 vehicles were involved in a pileup on a bridge in Kent, England due to a dense fog on a bridge. The accidents closed down the A249 Sheppey Crossing. At least 60 people were injured, with eight being considered serious.
“For ten minutes afterward, all we could hear was screeching, cars thudding into each other, lorries crashing,” said one driver, Martin Stammers.
The Associated Press reports that the accident began around 7:15 a.m., lasting ten minutes. The Kent Fire & Rescue Services arrived with hydraulic cutting equipment to free six people from their vehicles. The back up was seen visible for 20 yards once the fog cleared.
A spokeswoman from police says that nobody was killed in the pileup in Kent. Back in 2011, an even larger vehicle pileup happened in Sao Paulo, Brazil with around 300 cars.
