When I was a pharmaceutical salesman, the location of that catastrophic wreck was near my territory. This mountain is a pretty good sized mountain (for the Smokies) and there are multiple run-away truck ramps headed toward North Carolina after coming down from the gap.

My wife is afraid of heights and I am a little stupid... okay, a lot stupid... and I hauled ass down that mountain in our van in an effort to feed her anxiety. Christine dug fingernail holes in her armrests. In my defense, I drove over 30 counties and I covered them every 6 weeks, so I have experience driving in areas like this.

In fog, coming down that mountain, I can imagine that it is insanely dangerous!

We drove the PCH a few years ago and my wife was also terrified.

The PCH is primarily so treacherous because of all the idiots from LA who don't know how to drive that are on it all day every day... Well, depending on what section of it you're on, I suppose.
