A preliminary investigation indicated the driver of a white Ford F-650 flatbed tow truck was traveling westbound near the above address on the service road behind a white Freightliner box truck. The driver of the tow truck failed to control his speed and struck the rear of the box truck, causing it to turn to the left. The box truck then struck a black Chevrolet Tahoe and then struck the median wall. The Tahoe, which had been traveling westbound, continued traveling forward, spun around and came to a stop facing eastbound.
