Semi jackknifes, kills El Paso man

Update: El Paso Police identified the victim as 46-year-old Steve Carmona. They say that while Special Traffic Investigators are still looking into the crash, preliminary information reveals that Carmona's death was caused by a lengthy chain reaction of crashes.

There were six cars involved. It all started when one driver had to stop abruptly for congested traffic. A car behind changed lanes to avoid hitting the stopping car, hitting another car in the process. That car hit another car and a semi, which jackknifed and lost its load. During the jackknifing, Carmona was ejected from his car. The semi's load then fell onto him and killed him.

No one else was injured.

This is the 13th traffic fatality this year compared to 16 this time last year.

Update: Special Traffic Investigators with the El Paso Police Department are responding to I-10 E near the Lee Trevino exit to investigate a multi-vehicle crash.

Police say at least one person has died in the crash.

It happened at 4:41 p.m. at the Lee Trevino on-ramp when a semi apparently rolled oved and damaged several other vehicles, according to police.
