Vincent and Debra Leggio were described as incredibly devoted family people who were 'always smiling' and in love. They were trying to escape usual Thanksgiving festivities and have a romantic getaway in Mississippi when they were killed by an 18-wheeler that crushed their SUV.Visibility was about 1/8 of mile in fog when the pileup occurred. The fog, in fact, was so thick, that at first the authorities couldn't tell they were dealing with one giant pileup. I feel so sorry for this family.
I have to admit, fog is tricky. It lures you in thinking it's not too heavy in some places, then gets worse when it's too late. And unfortunately once you're on the highway, it can be really hard to find a place to turn off. Smaller roads can be even worse, even with less traffic, and pulling over isn't an option because someone is just as likely to plough into you. For all those injured that day, I wish you a speedy recovery. Some are still in critical shape. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
