Paxton says Knight's 18-wheeler ran into the back of another big rig which hit the back of a car pushing it into the back of another 18-wheeler. Knight's truck was westbound on I-20 around 5:24 p.m. when it struck another 18-wheeler driven by Nathaniel Thomas, 52, of Miramar, Florida. The impact caused Thomas' rig to strike a 2014 Toyota Prius driven by Michael Jedynak, 55, of West Monroe. The Prius was pushed into an 18-wheeler driven by John Wright, 46, of Holly Pond, Alabama.
