DIAMONDHEAD, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi authorities say one driver is dead after a wreck involving three 18-wheelers on Interstate 10 near the Diamondhead exit.

Hancock County Chief Deputy Don Bass tells The Sun Herald (http://bit.ly/1OFOYLp) the driver who died was trapped inside one of the trucks as it caught on fire Monday.

The coroner identified the victim as 44-year-old Lewis Peak, of Valdosta, Georgia.

The Mississippi Highway Patrol says a preliminary investigation revealed two of the trucks were rear-ended in a domino effect about 4:38 p.m.

The first truck, driven by Peak, hit a semi driven by 59-year-old Razmik Khachikyan, of Panorama City, California, who was uninjured.

Those two semis became entangled and were engulfed in flames.

Khachikyan’s truck rear-ended a tanker driven by 65-year-old Roger Eppler, of Jasper, Texas. He suffered moderate injuries.
