NEW ORLEANS—Dense smoke reminiscent of last month’s “super fog” that rolled into Louisiana has led to a deadly crash that shut down Interstate 10 in the New Orleans area early Tuesday, police said.

The thoroughfare was closed due to smoke, fog, and accidents involving multiple vehicles, New Orleans police said after the accident around 4:30 a.m.
