    It's hard to fathom how an accident like that even happened.

    Everyone's gotta go... Its obvious there all at fault for riding to close to each other... Could have been prevented... On the News its showing a couple of the big trucks are completely smashed... Send a prayer out to all involved...

    Watching it on the web. Man, it is bad.

    As a paramedic, I hope never to be involved in one of these.

    I travel this road about 2 times a week.

    I'm in Sawyer now was heading east when I passed this. Its not hard to Fathom how this happened. doesn't show it in the pic but at the head of that pack of carnage was a jackknifed truck that was clearly going too fast for conditions. And when I mean too fast I mean maybe 40. It was #### near white out conditions. If I didn't have a car to follow I don't think I would've actually known I was on the rd. Another scumbag who thinks he's too good of a driver to worry about a little snow cost people their lives. SLOW THE HELL DOWN PEOPLE

    *edit* I guess I should add in here that you need to keep your distance people.

    Yea he was towards the front... In the middle is a Swift truck that doesn't look to bad and then towards the rear looks to be a KLLM truck that's completely smashed... That's all I can make out...
