On January 9, 1995, a multiple-vehicle rear-end collision occurred during localized fog on Interstate 40 near Menifee, Arkansas. The accident about 1:50 a.m. near milepost 118 eventually involved eight loaded truck tractor semitrailer combinations and one light-duty van. Four drivers and a codriver were killed, one drive sustained a minor injury, and four drivers were uninjured. The safety issues discussed in the report include collision warning technology use during low visibility driving conditions, the emergency channel 9 override feature for citizens band ratios, and the nonuniformity of State laws governing four-way emergency hazard flasher operation.
