According to police, Johnson and McKinney were traveling east on SR18 when McKinney slowed for traffic. Johnson, driving a 2017 Peterbilt semi truck, struck McKinney’s Ford F150 and pushed it into the westbound lanes where it was hit by Bussey, also driving an F150.

Johnson’s truck came to rest in the eastbound ditch, McKinney’s in the westbound ditch and Bussey’s in a westbound lane.

The two F150s were totaled. The semi was towed away.

The cause of the accident is under investigation and charges may be pending, though police believe there was no drugs or alcohol involved.
