Five Die In Wreck Linked To Broken Highway Pavement
State patrol testimony and the truck driver’s statements describe a fatal collision caused when a car carrying five rolled out of control after striking a large section of broken paving. The driver testified the car swerved left then momentarily regained control before veering into the oncoming truck. It remains speculation whether the car’s steering or other mechanism failed when hitting the rough road, but the result is five lives lost due to the highway condition.
