Eyewitness Account

 
Peter Kling of Loma Linda, a witness, said he was on his way home when he saw the pickup suddenly deviated for unknown reasons. As a result, the pickup hit the semi-tractor.
 
Kling said he went immediately to the shoulder of the road. “All I saw was a huge ball of flame and the pickup truck go off the ground.” The pickup which was also burning landed in front of him so he quickly hit the brakes and struck only the front of his car.
 
After that, Kling noticed the pickup driver inside the vehicle. Authorities confirmed at 11:33 p.m. that the pickup driver was dead. In addition, the fire was already put out.
