Arson
#3
i haven't heard anything yet about arson investigation. but FHP had JUST re-opened 75.

The Florida Highway Patrol said Tuesday another victim had been found amid the wreckage in Alachua County, bringing the toll to 11 dead and 18 injured.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -
Minutes before two pileups killed 10 people on a highway shrouded in fog and thick smoke from a brush fire, the Florida Highway Patrol had reopened the always busy six-lane interstate after an earlier serious accident.

A sergeant and lieutenant determined after about three hours that conditions had cleared enough for drivers, but visibility quickly became murky again, officials said Monday.

"We went through the area. We made an assessment. We came to the conclusion that the road was safe to travel and that is when we opened the road up," Highway patrol spokesman Lt. Patrick Riordan said in a news conference. "Drivers have to recognize that the environment changes. They have to be prepared to make good judgments."
