MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Two people critically injured in the massive interstate pileup near Madison are improving.

Seven people remain hospitalized at University Hospital in Madison. All are now in serious condition. Thirty-three others were treated and released from three Madison hospitals.

More than 100 vehicles piled up on Interstate 90 yesterday afternoon in the thick fog. Two people were killed and at least 50 people suffered injuries.

The State Patrol closed the interstate while the wreckage was cleared and reopened it early today.

A fog advisory continues for much of Wisconsin today.
