The vehicle accident occurred first very suddenly. The tractor trailer had to break quickly to avoid a larger accident. The trailer jackknifed in the ditch. The tractor trailer was not on its side, only tilted from being on the bank. Yes, the interstate was backed up due to needing to clear the tractor trailer from the road but the tractor trailer did not cause the accident. This new post is not accurate.
