Austin (KXAN) -- More than 50 people were involved in a wreck early Tuesday after a multi-car pileup near southeast Austin, officials wrote on Twitter.

At about 1:30 a.m., officials responded to a multi-car pileup that included "20 to 30 vehicles," according to the Austin Police Department. The collision took place in the southbound lanes of State Highway 130 near Harold Green Road and officials believe heavy fog and low visibility were factors in what lead to the crash.

Austin-Travis County EMS evaluated 56 people, transported nine and were refused by one person. Two of the people transported people sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries.

The National Weather Service says smoke and fog are causing reduced visibility and advise drivers to slow down. A dense fog advisory was issued for areas south of the Austin Metro and east of Interstate 35.
