Florida Pile-Up: 11th Body Found In Wreckage

An 11th body has been found in the charred wreckage of a deadly Florida pile-up after days of searching by investigators, it has emerged.

At least a dozen cars, six lorries and a motor home were involved in a series of collisions on the busy Interstate 75 early on Sunday.

Initially it was thought 10 people were killed, but a team sifting through wreckage found the newly-discovered victim in a crushed and badly-burned pick-up truck that crashed into a lorry.
Two other bodies had earlier been found in the vehicle.

The pile-up was blamed on heavy smoke from marsh fires and fog, which blinded motorists.
Some of the cars were crushed by trucks and others burst into flames near Gainesville, home to the University of Florida.

A further 18 people needed hospital treatment after the incident, which was described by one witness as "like the end of the world".

Officials have released the names of eight people killed in the crash.
Investigators enlisted anthropologists to help identify some of the bodies by their bones and
teeth.
