Five people are dead after the driver of a tractor-trailer lost control
on the 10 freeway in Railto, California, plowed through the median and
into oncoming vehicles on the other side of the road.
Authorities told Los Angeles ABC station KABC
at least five people were killed in the fiery accident that shut down
the freeway on both sides for hours. In addition to the semi, at least
three other vehicles were involved in the crash, including a motorcycle.
Video and photos shot by onlookers showed the trailer on its side and
consumed by flames. All that remained by the evening were the burned out
hulks of the trailer and several other vehicles.
The truck lost control while driving down the westbound side and plowed
into traffic coming toward the driver on the eastbound side. The
eastbound lanes were expected to be closed until 3 a.m., KABC reported.
KABC said it was still unclear what caused the trailer to lose control.
