In an attempt to avoid collision, the semitractor driver swerved and crossed the median. The semi collided with a Nissan SUV traveling in the opposite direction, forcing it off the road and into a rock embankment. The collision also involved an all-terrain vehicle that was on the highway shoulder. All four Nissan occupants were killed, as well as the individual on the ATV. The semitractor and its trailers overturned during the incident, but the driver of the original SUV sustained only minor injuries. Authorities have not yet released the names of the people who died.
