  Sounds like a real horror story of the 100 car pile up in Sheppey at 0730 this morning.
  
  listening to radio kent it appears there were a lot of heroes outside of the emergency services that helped to stop the crashes being any worse than they were.
  
  At the scene no one could believe that no one died (3 seriously injured) our thoughts go out to those injured
  but we'll done to everyone , emergency services. locals, people at the scene, who done a great job in very difficult circumstances

  shocking story leaving 8 people seriously injured, i have been caught by sudden fog on a motorway and it is frightening as some motorists stick to the same speed as they were doing before the fog came down.

  terrible to hear at the scene drivers saying other drivers were speeding, or going to fast for the amount of fog/mist
