A semi-truck with a trailer full of white powder used in cosmetics was making a sharp turn at South Park Avenue and Crawford Road at about 6:00am, when its trailer became disconnected and moved into the path of a tanker truck driven by Jermon Jeffers, 40, who collided with it head-on. The powder in the trailer spilled all of the roadway and caught fire. Jeffers was trapped in his vehicle and pronounced dead when he was finally extricated.
