Ladina Hill, a mother of nine, according to family members, was on her way to work when an 18-wheeler crossed her path, having just jackknifed on State Highway 243, according to officials. Hill’s vehicle collided with the 18-wheeler and ignited its fuel tanks, erupting both Hill’s vehicle and the 18-wheeler on fire.
