The Ackmans were driving their station wagon northbound on SR36 when they suddenly braked for a second vehicle, described as a black SUV. That resulted in a truck rear-ending them, and the impact propelled the Ackmans’ car head-on into an SUV traveling south.
Neither of the women was wearing a seat belt, UHP said.
Johnson said troopers were investigating whether the black SUV was leaving the median as the Ackmans approached the accident scene, which ay have trigger the chain-reaction crashes. The black SUV had left the scene when troopers arrived.
Johnson said the driver of that vehicle had contacted the UHP on Wednesday and had been interviewed.
