The problem with that Ft Worth 100+ vehicle wreck was that the weather had not been particularly cold in the previous days. The ground was not frozen. And the surface roads were not iced. But the temperature dropped below freezing during the night. And the wreck happened at the downward sloping ending of an long elevated section of highway. And that elevated portion of roadway had frozen over. A few vehicles had wrecked at the end of that section because of that ice. Then every one coming along behind could not even slow down on the glazed over ice, let alone stop. There were multiple videos taken by motorists on the opposite side of the highway of vehicle after vehicle showing no signs of slowing before slamming into those already stopped. A couple of those semis were just devastating to the cars caught in between.
