On Friday, the highway was closed for hours due to a fiery truck crash. The road had just been re-opened for essential travel only, and only hours later it shut down due to multiple vehicle incidents.
Three people died in the crash after two tractor-trailers collided and caught fire. All of the occupants of those trucks were killed.
