Officials indicate that, in order to avoid colliding with slow traffic ahead, the Freightliner swerved left and jackknifed, entering the path of a Volvo 18-wheeler that had been traveling in the inside lane of the expressway. This resulted in a collision between the two vehicles, both of which burst into flames.

The 47-year-old who had been an occupant of the Freightliner incurred reportedly minor injuries as a result of the wreck. He was taken to a local medical facility for necessary treatment. No other injuries have been reported.
