    Saw this one unfold in my mirror. Truck never slowed down one bit. We were all stopped for construction. Plenty of flashing lights and strobes going off.

    2 killed in fiery 6-vehicle crash on I-85 NB near Gaffney, detours in place


    Truck launched off the car and went airborne into the construction area. Everyone in front of the accident had to get off the road so EMS could get to the scene.

    Can't figure out which tractor-trailer driver died. Was it the Volvo driver that caused the mayhem?
