Massive Pile Up on I-4 Kills 4; Including a Disney Employee

[daguru]

I'm sure everyone has already seen something about the massive 70+ car pile up yesterday morning on I-4... The wreck was actually 10-12 smaller wrecks, that happened at the same time, same place...

Current information state that 70+ vehicles were involved (a third were semis), 38 injuries.... the good and bad news is that only 4 people died due to the wreck... The first victim to be idetified was actually a DAK castmember, on his way to Disney for work. There is still approx 14 miles of I-4 that are still closed this morning and probably won't reopen until later tonight or tomorrow...

I offer my heartfelt condolences to the victims, their families, and everyone else involved....

Here are some write ups from local news sources:

Warning signs began nearly 20 hours before Polk crash

How horrible!

Guess we like to forget the benefits of modern transportation have some unfortunate prices sometimes.
