The Dodge stopped across the travel lanes with Thomas inside. Troopers say an improperly restrained child in the Subaru sustained minor injuries. Several additional vehicles struck debris that was on the highway as a result of the initial crash.
Thomas was pronounced dead at the scene of blunt force trauma injuries consistent with the collision.
