Guard Humvee goes airborne causing fatal six-vehicle accident
The Humvee was being driver by a 21-year-old soldier named Altha Gibson. For reasons that remain unclear, Gibson drifted off the road and then recrossed both southbound lanes on I-35 before vaulting over the median. The Humvee then struck a Toyota Corolla traveling in a northbound lane, killing the driver, 41-year-old Douglas Ashcroft. The Humvee remained airborne after hitting the Corolla and struck the cab of an 18-wheeler, killing its driver as well, 44-year-old Donald Johnson. The Humvee finally came to a stop after landing upside down in the middle of the interstate. However, the chain reaction it set into motion was not over. After being struck, the 18-wheeler jackknifed, hitting an unoccupied truck parked on the shoulder of the road along with the SUV it was towing. A trash compactor truck then crashed into the 18-wheeler. The driver of the trash compactor was not injured. Gibson, the driver of the Humvee, was killed in the accident. The cause of the accident remains under investigation. Click here for more on this multi-vehicle Fears | Nachawati is a
