The Highway Patrol says a Peterbuilt big rig clipped a truck hauling orange grind. The orange grind spilled all over the road. Four other cars crashed as they tried to avoid trucks.
The southbound lanes of HWY 43 had to close while the Highway Patrol cleaned up the mess.
The C.H.P. said the visibility at the time of the crash was only between 50 and 100 feet.
