Was it really worth it just to save a few gallons of gas?


A Mercedes Benz is unarguably safer than what is here.

Blinding fog triggered a 30-car pileup Wednesday morning on the 15 Freeway through the Cajon Pass, injuring 10 motorists and forcing the closure of northbound lanes for hours.

Commuters heading to work in the High Desert found themselves in a miles-long backup as paramedics and California Highway Patrol officers weaved through snarled traffic.

"They pretty much have to walk from car to car because it's such a long pileup," said CHP Officer Hope Maxson.

The incident began about 7:30 a.m. with a collision between two tractor trailers on the northbound 15 south of Oak Hill Road near Hesperia. That set off a chain-reaction involving dozens of other cars and motorcycles, who crashed into fenders and the sides of vehicles.
