Specifics about what happened or the types of vehicles have not been released but preliminary reports indicate as many as five to seven vehicles were involved. At least one was an 18-wheeler.


Also, the CFI truck is not trying to get around the wreck. There are emergency vehicles parked in front of it in the pic.

At 5 there was almost no traffic once you got on the bridge.

THe picture of the car shows a car seat with the entire car crushed on it and seat slammed into him from the front. Bless the baby. Looks like a seat for a 3-5 year old. prayers that everyone makes it. The pics of the cars make my stomach turn.

ETA: based on the pics, if a child was in the seat I would guess that's who got air flighted.

The crash was caused by an 18-wheeler that was unable to stop in time at a traffic backup and plowed into three vehicles, one of which was pushed under another 18-wheeler, Albarez said.

The driver of the first 18-wheeler, Yasin Ibrahim, 43, of Burnsville, Minnesota, was cited on five counts of negligent injury and one count of careless operation of a motor vehicle,

Did the latest update mention the age? Just so sad. Don't know why I'm so invested in this. Once I saw those pictures and spotted where the car seat was, I just haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Been praying that the child pulls through.

That Rav-4 gave just about everything it could give there.

Good lord do you realize what kind of energy had to go through that vehicle for it to crumble like that?

There are 3 vehicles crushed in the pics. A Lexus RSX (white with tire missing), a Honda CRV or maybe Pilot (white most destroyed) and a Buick car that’s grey. The Buick has the car seat.

I stand corrected that is a Lexus. Still mind blowing.

looking at the condition of the vehicles hit, this wasn't an "unable to stop in time" scenario




this dude hit them without even touching his brakes

This is near the Livonia exit to get onto I-10 right?

I always say a prayer on the on-ramp as I come up on I-10.

Those trucks don't stop for shittttttt.
