I was in the backup after this happened... Took about 40 mins to get from the state line to I65. It appeared that the red semi pictured in this article Rear ended another semi, glanced off of it and continued past the semi he had hit some 200 feet or so... Scattering pieces of his Truck all along the road as he came to a stop.
2 semis crash on I-80/94; eastbound traffic tied up for miles
Edit: upon closer look at the rest of the photos it looks as if the red semi was to far to the right when he went around tje white semi, and therefore clipped it... Clipped it hard!

I think the other truck was stopped on the shoulder to have done that (or perhaps almost all the way on the shoulder).
Cattleman84 Thanks this. -
Alas after a day there are no extra photos. Link only has one photo and a paragraph.

A red Volvo with a high DOT number (2100000 range). Chicagoland outfit maybe? Looks like he clipped one of JB Hunt’s day cab tractor trailers while running in “super trucker” mode.
Lepton1 and tommymonza Thank this. -
Between the broke down trucks and the drivers stopping on the shoulder to get a Coke, the 55 mph trucks, the 70 mph trucks, the cars weaving in and out, it’s Mad Max out there, any time of day.Trucker61016, Rideandrepair, mitrucker and 5 others Thank this. -

And lots of “white Volvo drivers” and can haulers who have no regard for speed or personal space.Trucker61016, Cattleman84 and tommymonza Thank this. -
And the fact of the matter is if you cause a wreck there-both Lake County Sheriff’s Department and the Indiana State Police will be waiting,with ticket books in one hand(and possibly) handcuffs in the other.Steele123 Thanks this. -
I run through there about twice a week. My company is all over me about doing the speed limit.
