Terrifying footage shows eight-car crash on M65 in heavy fog

What's your first reaction if you drive into heavy fog? It should be to slow down, as this video proves. Here we can see a terrifying eight-car pileup on the M65 in Lancashire, caused by a sudden belt of all-encompassing fog hiding the tail of a traffic jam. The footage was shared on Facebook by Chris Heys, and the footage shows his wife driving the camera car.

The camera car manages to brake and stop in time, but captures two high-speed rear-enders in quick succession, as both a Peugeot SUV and Mercedes saloon fail to avoid the cars in front of them.
