New York State Police have confirmed that two people are dead after a serious crash on the New York State Thruway.

According to Sgt. Steven F. Casabella, an eastbound passenger vehicle apparently crossed into westbound lanes striking a semi-tractor trailer and other vehicles. The tractor-trailer became fully engulfed in flames upon impact....

Here's a photo of the trailer. I'm assuming they removed what's left of the tractor already. It must have been a horrifying death for the tractor driver.

I wonder how fast the car that crossed lanes was going? Also, how big was it?

...Moments after the crash, a second westbound tractor-trailer hauling produce struck a guide rail that had been damaged in the first crash. The railing punctured the rig's fuel tank, causing it to become fully engulfed in flames, Jones said. The driver, a 49-year-old man from Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, jumped out of the rig. He was not injured....
