“There was debris everywhere,” Miranda Thompson, 21, told the Associated Press.
“People were in the grass. There were people putting tourniquets on people, trying to make sure they didn’t move. You could tell people were lost who it happened too … It was a sad day for all of them.”
The cause of the crash is not yet known, but the driver was not injured despite his pick-up bursting into flame after impact.
