Interstate 65 was closed for over 15 hours after two fatal crashes slowed traffic. The identities of those killed have not been released, but we do know that one person was killed in a crash involving one semi. In a seperate crash, another person was killed in a pileup that included six semis, a van, and two cars. Investigators say the second crash was caused by drivers slowing to see the first crash, and that fog was a contributing factor.
Amgad Mikhael was driving his SUV on Route 287 when he crashed into the back of a semi-trailer that was parked on the shoulder of the road. He was declared dead at the scene. Authorities do not believe drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash, though the wet and rainy conditions might have played a role. No one else was injured. Two lanes on Route 287 were closed for about three hours that evening.
