Upon reading of such a story, one might morbidly think that it was Friday the 13th. In a stroke of bad luck, there were two independent crashes in the same area on the interstate early in the morning. There was one death and seven injuries in the terrifying crash.
First, at 1:35 in the morning, the driver of a sedan responsibly slowed down in response to highway construction. However, the ambulance that was driving behind the sedan did not adjust their speed and rear-ended the sedan. Everybody in the ambulance was injured and brought to the hospital, while the driver of the sedan suffered only minor injuries.
Two hours later, a big rig collided with a sedan. The two vehicles were shoved together and then spun out of control. This resulted in three more vehicles becoming involved in the crash. The driver of the sedan was unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene. Everybody involved in the crash suffered minor injuries.
While an investigation is ongoing, police are struggling to understand what caused the second incident. It may have been drowsiness. But the authorities have ruled out drugs or alcohol as an explanatory factor in this particular incident.
After the crash, the lanes on the highway were closed to traffic until around 6:30 in the morning.
