Bad semi wreck on I-44

[Jeffrey Gray]

Anyone have any info on the wreck on I-44 this morning? I am a Tulsan that was passing through on our way to Michigan and were stuck for like 2 hours. Everyone was out of their vehicles and talking on the side of the road. All we needed was a barbeque...lol

Anyway, I hope that the driver is ok. We are moving at a good clip again...on laptop wirelessly through at&t.

Any info would be great.

The double fatality crash happened Monday morning near the Shoal Creek Bridge in Joplin.

Joplin police say an elderly woman left a truck stop heading east in the west bound lane. Authorities say she hit one car and then crashed and killed a woman in a second car.

Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene.
