He also suggested that the six-vehicle crash could have caused “multi-million dollars” worth of damage, which could mean that a hefty bill is on its way to the uninsured driver that caused the collision.
Police in Lakewood have not identified the driver of the white SUV that caused the pileup, however they have now been hit with careless driving charges.
