STOCKTON (CBS13) — A chain-reaction crash claimed the life of a big rig driver and injured a toddler.
The accident on northbound Highway 99 south of Arch Road closed the road for four hours after the accident.
It started when a semi hit another big rig, pushing it into a sedan, which then hit a second sedan.
