"Stemming from interviews and evidence that was gathered overnight ... the proximate cause of the crash is on the driver of the semi," Countryman said.The death toll is not expected to rise, but could, Countryman said. He said six people were hospitalized, but he did not know their conditions. A West Metro firefighter also suffered minor injuries after being hit by debris from a possible tire explosion, the department said.
Aguilera-Mederos, who was driving a flatbed carrying lumber, is the only person expected to be charged in the crash, Countryman said. He said there's nothing to indicate the collision was intentional, and there's no evidence to suggest drugs or alcohol were involved, but Aguilera could face additional charges.
