This accident was caused by a backup created by a previous accident, in which school buses were involved. Cars stuck on the interstate, because of the bus accident. Out of state driver hauling lumber on a flatbed tore through the cars parked on the interstate due to the bus accident. Out of state drivers need to understand their speed when coming out of the foothills. The driver had minor injuries. But has been arrested for several counts of vehicular homicide. I have even seen this reported on National tv. Colorado Department of Transportation says it could be several days before they can open the interstate back up again. It was too hot for them last night to start clean up operations. Sadly several bodies could not be recovered until Friday morning. Once they clean it all up, they are going to have to rebuild the highway. That's how hot the fire got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted April 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Innocent until proven guilty. However, local news is speculating that the 23 year old driver may be undocumented. As video shows him ignoring signs to slow down, or use emergency ramps. The Latest: Texas truck driver arrested in Colorado crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
