I saw the whole thing. Was on 125 when it happened and the red SUV was probably going about 60mph as it hit pedestrians, people on bikes, a cop car, and eventually that 18 wheeler. When the initial crash happened it shoulder and looked like a bomb when off with the loud bang and everything flying. The drive was still trying to get the vehicle unstuck and keep driving away after it was pinned under the 18 wheeeler
I ain’t never seen a car accident on 125th, much less a deadly one. Like how fast were they going?!
@harlumm around 65 mph
