I-80 accident
I -80 going west, near Newton , Iowa -Colfax exit, multia car , -2 18 wheeler crash, seems i caught the last part of this half part of news here, but at about 6 am , seems like a mini van was parked on the roadway, follwed by a pickup truck , follwed by a 18 wheeler , as they were waiting on something too clear up ahead, anyway the second simi did not see the whole scene , so he plowed right back into all this , creating according effect, the min van got the worst, and burst into flames ,under the overpass, killing the driver inside , the pickup got burnt on the rear of pickup, then first simi also burn up along with the load, then finnly the last 18 wheeler no burn on this one , but very messed up, we never know what caused this as im not gonna guess, but if i did guess , i would say it has too do with a cell phone, drivers use a headset or better still toss it in the back and tell your dm you have a certian times too call like when parked, not going down the road , all your attion is suppse too be on the road and if get distracted this what happens , but like i said this just my guess, so dont take it wroung, and like i said we never know what happened, it just sad someone lost there life and rest are in hospitals,
