    From one of the riggers helping with cleanup: the ford raptor pickup that was crushed passed the traffic police had stopped on the wrong side of the road at a high rate of speed. They collided with the rear trailer or bridge wall and started the whole chain reaction.

    Hope they got there on time.

    Driving a raised pickup automatically lowers your IQ 30 points.
