Just came up the 18 and the accident is still there, the car looked like a crushed tin can, I don’t think anyone could have survived. Fire truck and other government vehicles were present and looked like an investigation going on.
Chrissy, There was a car wrapped up in the front of one of the big gravel/cement truck.The car was about 1/4 of its original size. I can't see how anyone survived. We drove by just as the emergency vehicle were arriving. That was around 9:45-10am
