Yesterday afternoon, a flatbed carrier ran full-speed into the rear of a slow moving Army dump truck on I-15. The driver was killed instantly. The carrier was one of those Carvana carriers you see in Carvana commercials on TV. Carvana is based out of Tempe, Arizona. There's no explaination for the crash. Christine and I send our prayers to the tow operator's family and the Carvana company.
