traffic wasnt tied up, it was routed around a detour. Supposedly the lady that was killed looked down trying to reach something and crossed the center line and hit the other truck. I was wondering why there was so much traffic coming past the business that morning, then life flight flew over and i knew it had to be a serious wreck.

Thanks for the update, I had a child on a bus that had to witness a "lady covered all up. It's chilling to hear your child come home and say they saw a lady dead. Last night she was worried about the other people who had been hurt. I'll try and explain tonight how everyone else is doing.
