GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Gov. Rick Scott is ordering an investigation into the Florida Highway Patrol’s decision to reopen an interstate highway shortly before pileups killed 10 people. The FHP had closed Interstate 75 outside of Gainesville for more than three hours early Sunday after heavy smoke from a brushfire and fog made the highway impassable. Fifteen minutes after the highway reopened, the pileups happened, with survivors reporting smoke and fog so thick they couldn’t see.
