CHP officials reported the drivers of a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, a Volkswagen Atlas, a Nissan, a white Lexus, a semi-truck, and a white Honda Accord were involved.
Investigators reported the semi-truck came upon stopped traffic on Highway 41 at the Avenue 12 stop light. The driver was unable to stop and crashed into the back of the Honda, setting off a chain-reaction collision involving the other motorists.
