A deadly collision between two semi trucks claimed the lives of both drivers last Friday on a narrow stretch of Highway 12 in Attala County, Mississippi.
The crash occurred on July 25th when a logging truck, driven by 45-year-old John Hedges, veered across the center line and collided head-on with another semi hauling pipes, operated by Raul Rosquete of Clearwater, Florida. Moments later, a car struck the wreckage from behind and caught fire.
Despite the fiery aftermath, the woman driving the car managed to escape without injury.
The crash prompted a full shutdown of Highway 12 for several hours as investigators worked at the scene. Authorities have not yet determined the cause of the collision, and no additional details have been released.
