    By the pictures it looks like there should be more to this story. Whats the cause for the rest of the trucks stopped ahead of this wreck?

    Headline is wrong. It's the cars' fault.

    If the truck weren't running too close together they wouldn't have piled up on each other like that.

    That herd mentality can get people injured and/or killed.

    The crazy thing is I often go that way to avoid all the traffic on 70 and 29 into Iowa...

    ... Prayers for all involved in that mess.
