The semi-truck collided with a Ford F-150 carrying five people, then pushed into two other semi-trucks, Bradford said. One of the trucks jackknifed, hitting a Jeep Compass, a Ford Mustang and a Honda passenger vehicle, he said.

A preliminary investigation indicates that traffic on I-20 was already backed up due to a previous crash.
