Two Dead After Wreck On I-45

Two people are dead after a terrible wreck involving motorcycles and a good Samaritan on I-45 in Dallas County. 

The driver of an 18 wheeler was heading north on I-45 near Loop 12 around 11 last night when a speeding gang of motorcycles doing at least 85 passed him up.  One of the motorcyclists apparently crashed and the driver stopped quickly to help.  The other bikers came back looking for their friend, blocking the 18 wheeler driver from being able to move out of the right lane.
A Buick's driver didn't see the 18 wheeler stopped and slammed into the trailer portion, killing two in the car and seriously injuring another.  Both that person and the motorcycle rider that wrecked out are in critical condition at Baylor hospital.  The motorcyclists apparently took off when police arrived.
