In Montana, visibility reportedly dropped to less than 400 metres in the bad weather condition on Friday.
At least six people died on Friday after a dust storm caused a pile-up of 21 vehicles in Montana, United States. I'm deeply saddened by the news of a mass casualty crash near Hardin. Please join me in prayer to lift up the victims and their loved ones. We're grateful to our first responders for their service.
According to CNN, strong winds whipped up the dust and left drivers with "zero visibility" before the horrifying crash. Jose Strickland witnessed the pileup. He told the outlet that even he skidded to a stop when the pileup occurred just in front of him on Interstate 90 in Big Horn County, Montana.
Separately, sharing a video of crashed vehicles on Facebook, he wrote, "Visibility dropped in an instant. I still can't get over the fact that we were 1 truck away from disaster."
