Authorities reported that a 2001 Toyota Tacoma traveling westbound collided with a disabled 1999 Ford Pickup, which was stopped in the westbound lane. A 2017 GMC Sierra, stopped in the westbound lane to assist, was also involved. The impact caused the disabled Ford Pickup to strike the pedestrian, pinning him under the vehicle.
