Such a terrible accident with 43 injured, some life-threatening, besides the many who died.
RIP to everyone who died, and all the others will hopefully get well.

there was a firework display in a rugby field next to it just before the accident and there was a lorry carrying aerasol's etc hence the fireball
RE: 34-vehicle crash on the M5 killed several people - McGherkin - 2011-11-10 18:50
It looks like a combination of smoke from the fireworks display and fog caused the crash, the rugby club are trying to say that it wasn't their fault because the display finished 15 mins before the crash, but people are saying that there was a lot of smoke still there.

Fireworks next to a busy motorway...that should be a no brainer. RIP

Eyewitness accounts stated 3metres visibility of fog, very much doubt the fireworks had a part in it tbh if the weather was that bad.

I highly doubt firework can cause such low visibilty 15 minutes after the show.
