Authorities were working Monday to learn the identities of a number of survivors who apparently walked away from this weekend's fiery crash in an Interstate 5 truck tunnel, and, as far as officials are concerned, disappeared into thin air.

At least nine unaccounted-for drivers are presumed to have been in the tunnel at the time of the massive chain-reaction crash that temporarily severed California's primary north-south traffic artery Friday night.

“as far as officials are concerned, disappeared into thin air.”

May I suggest that they get some new, more qualified officials? They did not disappear into thin air.

How long before these nine are back on the road and driving again? I say less than a month.

Were they seen ‘walking away’ or it that speculated? In thin air? Did they burn up in the inferno? Is is 100% certain they were illegals? No facts that I can see, only inferences.

Maybe possible for one are two, but nine, I doubt it.

and none of their families have come forward to file an insurance claim for their vehicles...all those who thought I was being too judgmental that the cause of the accident might have been an unlicensed illegal alien...
looks like there MIGHT HAVE BEEN NINE UNLICENSED ILLEGALS INVOLVED...

If any of the nine missing drivers are linked to a commercial vehicle ... DOT will be all over their employers, or not, depending how well connected they are.

California is very slack on following FMCSA/HSA/DOT till the stuff hits the fan.

“Lot of California drivers don’t carry insurance?”

If you have a valid CA driver’s license and your insurance even lapses;
you receive a nice little note from the DMV requesting proof of insurance...spoken from one who knows. LOL

but your point is well taken, there are a lot of people including illegals who not only don’t have insurance they don’t even have a valid driver’s license.

I would think you'd find some illegal alien femurs; they would not turn entirely into dust.

Oh, and what about those big belt buckles? Find the buckle, and you've found the carbonized remains of an undocumented driver.
