They were traveling south in the Interstate shortly after leaving home for a vacation trip to Disney World and to visit the children’s grandmother who had never seen the youngest child.
They came upon a traffic backup caused by a car being towed off of the roadway creating a stoppage. The Workman car was stopped right behind a semi-truck when another one came upon the stopped traffic. The truck couldn’t stop in time and rear-ended the Wormans’ pickup truck, driving it into the rear of the first truck. The collsion completely demolished the pickup and it started burning, the fire eventually spreading to the semi-truck that had hit it.
