Clark said the fog is the result of moisture from previous rains being trapped in the valley. It is not expected to dissipate until the county sees some dry air flowing in.

Farm Accidents can be deadly

With no insurance and workers’ compensation benefits available for most farm workers, the only way to pay for the medical expenses, lost wages and other damages such as the pain and suffering associated with the serious injury or the wrongful death of a loved one is by hiring a skilled attorney to protect your rights.

According to California Highway Patrol, five people were killed when a van carrying six farmworkers was broadsided by a truck on Highway 4 near Van Allen Road. Three people involved survived: the two occupants of the red pickup truck, and one farmworker who was in the van. Due to heavy fog, visibility was less than 100 feet when the crash happened.
