WATCH: Father Of Four Killed When Semi Causes 11 Car Pileup In Sacramento

One father was killed and three people were hospitalized this week after a massive semi-truck caused a nine-vehicle collision along a California highway. 

The California Highway Patrol on Tuesday confirmed that a horrendous crash had taken place at 5:40pm on Interstate 5 in south Sacramento.

It would result in the death of Joel Broussard, a 39-year-old father and former mayoral candidate in the nearby city of Elk Grove.
