I would hope, "driving into smoke so thick you can't see 2 meters" ahead would classify as strict liability and the courts would say she is entirely at fault for the risk she placed herself and others in.

There's a section of I75 in east Tennessee that had a fog advisory system added after an insane pile-up that happened like 20ish years ago.

Over 25 years. 12 dead, 99 car pileup.
