The partially loaded 50,000 lb. Tyson Foods 2003 tractor-trailer was traveling eastbound at over 60 mph, in violation of the 55 mph speed limit, when it moved over a no passing double yellow line into the opposite lane to pass cars ahead of it. Daniel Brumfield, a United States Marine, was driving his pickup truck westbound on U.S. Route 30 near Oldfield Road west of Crestline at the same time the Tyson Foods truck was traveling eastbound in the westbound lane. The Tyson driver did not apply his brakes until after he hit Daniel's pick-up head on at over 60 mph. The Tyson truck pushed Daniel and his pickup backwards 562 feet, nearly the length of two football fields, before they came to rest crushed and still pinned to the front of the tractor-trailer.
