A 29-year-old woman driving a 2009 Toyota Corolla in the right-hand lane of the busy highway suddenly wandered into the center lane and colliding with a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. The impact caused both vehicles to veer to the left, cross the median and into oncoming northbound traffic. The Toyota and the Chevy then collided with another six vehicles which included a 2016 Kia Optima, a 2005 Honda Odyssey, a 2004 Volvo S40, a 2017 Nissan Rogue, a 2004 Toyota Camry, and 2007 Hyundai Tucson.
