It appears there was Animal Control along lanes of I-20 working to remove a dead animal from the road, and they stopped traffic to do so. A 60-year-old woman in a Lexus SUV and a tractor-trailer occupied by a 25-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman slowed down due to this work. From behind, though, authorities say a Peterbilt tractor-trailer failed to control speed, resulting in a multi-vehicle collision.

As a result of the collisions, the 22-year-old woman in the semi-trailer reportedly had serious injuries. The driver of the Lexus apparently had moderate injuries. There were no other confirmed injuries. Authorities say they recommended the driver of the second tractor-trailer be charged for failure to control speed. No further information is available right now.
