The report reads as follows:
- Vehicle #1 slowed suddenly due to the actions of other traffic ahead.
- Vehicle #2 slowed behind it.
- Vehicle #3 was unable to stop and rear-ended vehicle #2, knocking it forward into vehicle #1.
- Vehicle #3 then jack-knifed across the roadway.
- Vehicle #4 was unable to stop and ran into the jack-knifed trailer of vehicle #3.
The report says the drivers of vehicle #1 and #2 were treated for minor injuries, with the driver of vehicle #3 being airlifted by WINGS Air Rescue for “suspected major injuries.”
