Two people were killed and nine others were injured Saturday in a
massive pileup north of Los Angeles that involved as many as 40 vehicles
in foggy conditions on Interstate 5, authorities said.

The deadly pileup on the West Coast's main north-south corridor occurred
on the southbound side of I-5 in Kern County, about 33 miles north of
the Los Angeles County line, according to the California Department of
Transportation, known as Caltrans.

The freeway remained closed at Millux Road as California Highway Patrol
investigators attempted to reconstruct elements of the pileup and
determine an official cause, CHP spokesperson Tami Grimes said.

Grimes confirmed two fatalities. She said more details were expected
Saturday night.

Kern County Fire Department Battalion Chief Jim Calhoun told NBC
affiliate KGET of Bakersfield that nine other people were hospitalized
with minor injuries.

Caltrans said foggy conditions affected the freeway Saturday morning,
and Calhoun said visibility was down to about 10 feet when rescuers
arrived.

Grimes said as many as 40 vehicles were involved in what appeared to be
three core collisions in close proximity to one another. The battalion
chief said 18 of the vehicles were tractor-trailers.

The pileup was reported shortly after 7:30 a.m., according to KGET. It
happened along a rural stretch of the freeway in the town of Conner,
north of a snow-prone area known as the Grapevine.

Such low-visibility conditions are known in the San Joaquin Valley as
tule fog, which covers the ground in a heavy, rising mist after rain
saturates the soil. KGET said the fog can linger as high-pressure air
traps it.

The area was in for more hazardous weather Saturday night through Sunday
as a southbound storm was forecast to deliver a few inches of snow to
the Grapevine, the National Weather Service said.

Forecasters also warned that the corridor north of Los Angeles could be
affected by ice and wind gusts as powerful as 80 mph.

Motorists should beware of "blizzard conditions with low visibilities
from blowing snow," the weather service said.
