— A commercial truck driver who caused a fiery six-vehicle crash in January in Arizona was “actively using the TikTok application” when he rear-ended two passenger vehicles, killing five, according to officials.
Traffic was congested at the time on Interstate 10, where Tiner caused the crash, due to an earlier incident, officials say. Troopers initially suspected that Tiner may have been distracted. Tiner turned in his phone as part of an FBI-assisted investigation that determined he was using the social media application when the accident occurred. The investigation also revealed that the truck was going 68 mph in a 55 mph zone.
Tiner also was charged with four counts of endangerment and one count of tampering with physical evidence, according to the Thursday report.
