They weren't going fast, but when they hit a huge patch of ice, off they went ...sliding all over the place. At one big split in the freeways, about four 18 wheelers banged into each other. That started a huge pile up on those two interstates. Did your wife get there alright, with no problems?

LOL! They could have slowed down, put a light touch on the brakes, and steered into the skid. Hard to do in so much traffic, I know.

Not necessarily. From a local web site.

I was right below the trucks when what I saw was the fuel truck in reverse. But he wasn't, he was sliding backwards towards the delivery truck. Luckily the men in the core-mark jumped out of the cab and were spared.

I was there when the fuel truck pulled in to deliver fuel. This is fairly flat, just a slight slope He ether broke away from a dead stop or was backing out at a fraction of a mile/hr. Some pictures at this link.
