An estimated 12 cars, six tractor-trailers, and a motor home collided on Interstate 75 in Gainesville, Florida early Sunday morning, less than a quarter of an hour after Florida Highway Patrol reopened the stretch of highway. Dense fog and heavy smoke from brush fires made visibility dangerously low.

Witnesses say they saw cars getting hit multiple times and bursting into flames. Several cars were wedged under tractor-trailers. Investigators are seeking the help of anthropologists from the University of Florida to help identify the deceased.

Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those affected by this horrific crash.

The 37 year-old was intoxicated and texting on his cellphone when he rear-ended a squad car at a stoplight. The officer discovered an uncased rifle, uncased bows and arrows, and several empty beer cans in the suspect’s car. Charges of possession of a firearm by a felon may be dropped in a plea agreement.

A breathalyzer test revealed that his blood alcohol content was 0.132, over the legal limit of 0.08. Due to his prior drunk driving convictions, however, he is not allowed to have a blood alcohol content over 0.04.

The accident happened in the early morning hours on Sunday. When rescue workers arrived at the scene, the vehicle was almost completely inside the home and its front wheels were falling into the basement. After the car was towed out, the driver and passenger of the car were extricated and taken to St. Vincent Hospital.

The two people who live in the house were not harmed. However, the house has been listed as condemned and they will not be able to return while the investigation is ongoing. Authorities say drinking and speed were likely a factor in the crash.

569 people died in vehicular accidents last year, seven more than in 2010 but 59 fewer than the state’s five-year average. According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, this is the first time in 84 years that traffic fatalities were under 600 for four years in a row, the last time being from 1924-1927.

Pedestrian, bicycle, and car-related deaths slightly increased as motorcycle fatalities decreased by 18 percent. The director of the DOT’s Bureau of Transportation Safety claims there is no specific factor that is responsible for the fewer traffic deaths, but states that most of the fatal accidents were caused by irresponsible decisions and bad driving habits.

Officers believe a 44 year-old woman was intoxicated when she pulled out of a parking lot and into the path of an approaching car near Highway 12 and Highway EW. The 54 year-old woman in the other vehicle could not avoid hitting the car.

The younger woman was taken to Gundersen Lutheran Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Her passenger was not harmed. The 54 year-old suffered only minor injuries and was transported to Tomah Memorial. The Wisconsin State Patrol and Monroe County Sherrif’s Department are currently investigating the accident.

A 39 year-old man headed northbound lost control of his vehicle on a curve when he traveled into the southbound lane and crashed head-on into a car driven by a 22 year-old woman. Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene. The woman’s 23 year-old passenger is currently at the University Hospital in Madison.

Officers do not believe alcohol or speeding were factors in the crash. Highway 26 has seen many fatal accidents over the years, which prompted the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to upgrade it with passing lanes. Police often patrol to look for accidents.

Our deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of the two victims.

The 18 year-old man was crossing North Sixth Street near New York Avenue when a Department of Public Works truck hit him just before 9:00. Paramedics say he was unresponsive when they arrived.

The Sheboygan Police Department confirmed his death an hour later after his arrival at theAurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center. He suffered serious head and internal injuries.

No other cars or objects were on the street at the time of the accident that would have obstructed the teenager or the driver’s view. Sheboygan police and the Wisconsin State Patrol will conduct a crash reconstruction.

Our deepest sympathies are with the friends and family of the young victim.
