"There were three people that stopped on the highway and drug the semi driver out and to safety."

Sheriff Steve Hespen said both people likely died instantly.
This is the worst collision that we've had for quite some time, as far as the magnitude of the damage and the overall outcome of the accident itself," Hespen said. "We had a witness statement that indicated they didn't see any erratic driving on the part of the SUV prior to the collision. So basically, right now, that's all we have to go on."
