Preliminary investigation revealed a vehicle was stalled with its emergency lights on the most out lane when a second vehicle approaching began to brake.
A third vehicle, a White Ford Focus, occupied by 36-year-old Martin Anthony Arroyo and 30-year-old Lisa Jo Rawlings, swerved left onto the middle lane to avoid impact. The Ford Focus was struck by a maroon Dodge Ram Pickup that was already in the center lane, according to a news release.
