I77 below Fancy Gap Mountain 75 vehicles, 25 injuries and 4 fatalities at this point. Not how many thought they'd spent Easter Sunday. [:(]

More likely driving too fast for conditions.
It gets really foggy on that mountain on a rainy day like today.

It is a very long, steep grade. Its the kind of highway that was emergency runaway ramps for when trucks lose their brakes. I imagine it was as JD said, too fast for conditions, fog specifically.

I would have driving thru there at exactly that time if I would not have decided to fly.
