Two Texas women were killed in Colorado as their Jeep Liberty SUV was hit from behind by a semi-truck driver.
The Associated Press reports that the two women were travelling at about 15 mph down eastern Colorado’s I-70 because of icy conditions on the highway, while the driver of a big rig was driving his truck at about 55 mph. Both of the women in the SUV were pronounced dead at the scene by emergency medical crews.
After the semi-truck driver collided with the SUV, it crashed into a pickup truck and caused the pickup to collide with a Chevrolet Surburban SUV. No serious injuries were reported from the drivers or passengers of the other motor vehicles involved in the truck wreck.
The driver of the semi-truck was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide and other charges.
