WATCH: Father Of Four Killed When Semi Causes 11 Car Pileup In Sacramento

One father was killed and three people were hospitalized this week after a massive semi-truck caused a nine-vehicle collision along a California highway. 

The California Highway Patrol on Tuesday confirmed that a horrendous crash had taken place at 5:40pm on Interstate 5 in south Sacramento.

It would result in the death of Joel Broussard, a 39-year-old father and former mayoral candidate in the nearby city of Elk Grove.

Ban assault semis. Assault semis kill people. People don't need such a high powered truck.

When you read about the man who died in this it's even more wrenching.

This site is getting worse and worse now you are using tragedy porn to get clicks. This is not car news, I don't know why so many other sites can find so much more real car new this one can and none have to stoop to this can of tragedy for entertainment.

I recall back to the early 2000s when I fell in love with Autospies. IT was very unique and reported spyshots of new and upcoming cars with pics, info and tidbits that no other websites could provide. It was updated every week with good quality information. No junk, divisive topics, politics, random trashy things we see online alot these days etc. You guys should aim to return to the roots and only report proper stories and information for genuine car enthusiast. Look at autoblog, motor1, motorauthority etc, their quality and materials are way ahead of you guys... I find way better stuff on those websites now..

If you're monetizing then junk, divisive topics, politics, and random trashy things are how you make money.

So how many identities do you have?

Looks like the culprit truck driver was completely asleep at the wheel. Horrendous accident.
