The exact cause of the crash is still being investigated, but some of the officials working the accident said it was probably the worst one they have seen in a couple years.
“When I got on scene, it was apparent that it was a very violent crash. There didn’t seem to be any skid marks in the road that we could see, but as far as what caused this accident, it would just be speculation on my part,” said Greg Hayes, Jackson County emergency management director.
At this time, the names of the victims haven’t been released.
