Watch video:

 
The crash occurred when Kersigo was moving to take the 60th Street exit but then appeared to change her mind and veered back onto the Interstate into the path of the oncoming semi truck. It appears Kersigo overcorrected then cut across several lanes of traffic when she collided with the big rig. The semi truck hit the driver’s side door of the Neon, crushing the vehicle under the semi’s cab. Witnesses at the scene described it as horrible.

The semi truck accident caused traffic to be backed up in both directions on the I-80. Motorists took detours to avoid the traffic jam, but the detours also became slow due to the heavy traffic.
