According to authorities, this nine-vehicle Fairbanks car accident quickly turned into a pileup in the southbound lane at the intersection of the Steese Highway and 3rd Avenue on Monday morning. The reason is believed to be because a motorist slowed down because of difficulty with visibility, and the vehicle behind that motorist rear-ended that driver. From there, seven additional vehicles became involved in the accident. Four people were sent to the hospital with injuries that varied in severity, and none of the names of those involved were released.
