I never consider how a dust storm could block vision while driving. This sounds horrifying. RIP to those who died.

Pretty much anything.

Fog, snow.... hell the other day I was caught in a 10 min downpour.

Barely could see anything 10 ft in front of me.

Anyone could rear someone or get reared by someone.

At least with rain you expect visibility to be hampered at any time. Just driving and then suddenly being blinded by a wall of dust would come out of nowhere

Yea.

I seen a few western movies where this happens.

It shows why cowboys wear scarfs because that's what they use for this.

Aside robbing a train or stagecoach.

Dust storms are no joke. They are awful to be in on foot too.
