Anyone know what happened to the truck driver in this incident? This happened in Oklahoma - Elk City area I believe - during an ice storm. There were 12 people in the van... 7 died on the scene.

What do you want to bet that these were illegals? I hope the driver and his company have deep pockets. I am sure that some crooked lawyer will file suit and try to make it the drivers fault. :evil:

The only thing I have heard is the conditions of the van occupants. The 7 killed were not wearing seatbelts and were either ejected or partially ejected, all died on scene. The other 5 were wearing seatbelts and pretty much released from the hospital a few hours later. The only way the truck driver might get something is if his logs were screwy. Police put fault on the van.
