Depressing news out of Tennessee where music festival Bonnaroo is kicking off today:

The two people killed in a fiery crash on Interstate 24 East early this morning were en route to Bonnaroo, the Tennessee Highway Patrol confirmed….

…Eight vehicles were involved in the crash, including two tractor trailers, according to a statement from the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

According to THP Trooper Charles Cooper, an earlier crash on I-24 may have been the catalyst for the fatal crash, which occurred at about 12:15 a.m.

“We had a crash earlier that had traffic slowed or to a stand-still,” Cooper said.

A tractor trailer was unable to stop in, overturned and hit multiple vehicles, including a second tractor trailer.

Two vehicles caught fire, the THP reported. One of those vehicles became fully engulfed in flames, killing two people inside. [The Tennessean]
