Man moving family to Florida killed in crash involving 2 18-wheelers

WEST BATON ROUGE, La. — A man driving a truck towing a U-Haul trailer from California to Florida was killed Thursday night in Louisiana when he was involved in a crash that also involved two 18-wheelers, WAFB reported. The man's 6-year-old daughter was unhurt, and his wife witnessed the incident in a vehicle that was following her husband, WAFB reported.

Jeremiah Huggins, 40, was killed after the wreck on I-10. Officials said he was moving his family to Jacksonville after recently losing his job.

Investigators said the 18-wheelers were stopped on the interstate when Huggins slammed into them from behind, WAFB reported.

Huggins’ daughter emerged from the crash “without a scratch,” investigators said.

No charges are being filed in the case, WAFB reported.
