Both V01, a 2007 Freightliner TR driven by David H. Self, 56 of Peebles, Ohio and V02, a 2015 Toyota Corolla driven by Glen Chambers, 88 of Florala, Alabama were traveling eastbound on Interstate 10 at Mile Marker 147. The Freightliner was traveling in the right lane and the Toyota was traveling in the left lane. For unknown reasons at this time, the Freightliner appeared to veer left into the left lane. The left front side of the Freightliner collided into the front right side of the Toyota. The collision forced the Toyota to rotate in a clockwise direction, crossing the right lane, and coming to final rest on the south side shoulder, facing north. After the collision, the Freightliner over steered to the right, causing it to rotate in a clockwise direction. The Freightliner continued to travel in a south easterly direction onto the south side shoulder. The left side of the Freightliner collided into a tree, causing the trailer to overturn on its left side. The Freightliner came to final rest at the second area of collision, facing west.
