Jeremiah Huggins, 40, was killed after the wreck on I-10. Officials said he was moving his family to Jacksonville after recently losing his job.

Investigators said the 18-wheelers were stopped on the interstate when Huggins slammed into them from behind, WAFB reported.

Huggins’ daughter emerged from the crash “without a scratch,” investigators said.

No charges are being filed in the case, WAFB reported.
