It happened at 3:05 a.m. after an accident between a Buick Enclave and a Honda Civic. Both drivers of the cars exited their vehicles after suffering minor injuries. A witness driving by saw them and stopped to help. But a semi-trailer truck collided with the crashed cars right as the witness was walking toward the injured drivers.
