Target 11 investigator Rick Earle eventually linked the crash to the plow truck. The driver said his salt spreader came loose and struck a car, but he did not stop to report it and didn't tell his supervisors until the next day.

Sources told Target 11 the driver has been involved in other crashes as well.
