7 fatalities

I'm guessing that being impaired might have something to do with it. But it's just a guess
What kind of response @Magoo1968 is that?

 

Read your own article and then look at pictures

 

Ok, lets start with
"The driver involved in a crash that killed seven people on Interstate 5 on Thursday afternoon is being charged for allegedly driving under the influence of intoxicants, according to Oregon State Police."
And then
"Police said at about 2 p.m. Thursday the man's 18 wheeler left the northbound lane of Interstate 5 near the Santiam rest stop.
His truck hit a Ford Econoline van with 11 people inside. The impact pushed the van into the trailer of another 18 wheeler."
And then
Six people who were in the van were declared dead on the scene.
And then
"Police say he was arrested and was taken to the Marion County Jail on charges including reckless driving, manslaughter and assault"

Soooooooo.........what am I missing????

 

Which trailer is damaged that would be the innocent truck driver.

 

RIF

 

Deputy district attorney David Wilson said Smith had at least 17 arrests in California and nine previous convictions ranging from burglary to providing false information.

Wth??…

 

CR England is innocent. Just bad luck that the van got pushed into him!

 

11 folks in a van. Probably Railroad workers being transported.
