Freezing fog overnight caused many accidents in the area of Yakima County, but only one collision on I-82 resulted in a fatality. A car with a woman and a child was first involved in a two-vehicle wreck on westbound I-82, but when the woman stepped out of her damaged vehicle, a third car collided with both of the cars from the initial collision, which fatally wounded the woman and seriously injured the child she was holding at the time, as well as sent two other people to the hospital. More cars became involved in the pileup afterwards, but no more people were taken to the hospital.
