Authorities say the second semi then left the roadway, crossed the cable barriers into the southbound lanes, and collided head-on with a 2006 Honda Accord driven by 43-year-old Matthew Coles of Marion. Coles was pronounced dead at the scene. Black, the Michigan driver, and a minor passenger in Coles’ vehicle were transported to the hospital with unspecified injuries.
