Thanks for posting the outcome as I've been following this one fairly closely. As Dutch posed, there is more to this which I posted in June:
What I could never understand/figure out is why were they blocking two of the four lanes at the same spot on I-65 so people could get on more easily at the exit in front of them. Best I remember is that there was not an accident on I-65. IF the Response Unit had blocked one lane at the beginning of the curve with his sign saying "two right lanes closed ahead" I doubt this accident would have happened. Still terrible for all involved.
The situation that worries me the most is going into dense fog (all of a sudden) and slowing way down so maybe you can see what's in front in time, but not so much that the guy behind does not hit you. If the traffic stops in this situation I'm going to park as far off the shoulder as I can get... even if I get stuck. Safe travels.
