Multiple Wrecks Close Highway 113

Multiple wrecks shut down Highway 113 north of Flomaton Fridaymorning, with at least five people injured. The wrecks were attributed to extremely thick fog and smoke from a controlled burn creating near zero visibility in some locations.

The first accidents were reported about 5 a.m. Multiple fire departments and ambulances from Escambia County, Fla., Atmore and Brewton responded to the scene, which stretched over several miles.

The wrecks were between the Pineview crossroads and I-65. Both north and southbound lanes were closed for almost six hours while emergency officials worked to clear the accidents and waited for the fog and smoke to clear.

Dear TOM

I did know the firefighter that was injured in the wreck. For further clarification, He was parked behind the fire truck when his pickup was struck from behind. The back of his truck was smashed to the rear axle the first time it was hit. Troopers estimated the speed at 60 mph, just a tad bit over idle speed. His truck was then hit a second time by an 18 wheeler. I am a firefighter and spend a lot of time on the side of the road, clear and foggy and drivers just fly by. Dumb carless drivers are the issue.

It sounds as though you are well versed on the law and appear to be seeking a client.

No..the lawyers will determine who have the deepest pockets. Hard to run a business otherwise. For all we know (unless someone in the group was actually on site taking atm readings), the smoke was present only in a quantity to be smelled and may not have contributed to the production of super fog. But since it could be smelled it must have been the prescribed burner’s negligence.

The way I see it, so long as the prescribed burner follows the law, then any smoke related claims should fall under natural disaster and covered by their own auto or homeowner’s insurance. Arguing gross negligence on the part of the law abiding landowner is at that point merely litigious diatribe and soft shoe. If the burner does not follow the law (at which point they are called arsonists) then the gloves can come off. Otherwise, lawyers involvement is nothing more then ambulance chasing.
