Senate panel passes measure to let retired Gen. James Mattis run Pentagon; first of several steps

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — A coroner says two tractor-trailer drivers have been killed in a chain-reaction crash involving their trucks and four other vehicles on Interstate 80 in central Pennsylvania. The crashes began about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday in Centre County when a tractor-trailer stopped in the eastbound lanes near the Bellefonte exit after another truck in front of it slid off the right berm but partially blocked traffic. Although the second tractor-trailer stopped safely, another smashed into it, followed by two more tractor trailers and two passenger vehicles. State police and the coroner have yet to identify the drivers who were killed. They were driving the third and fourth tractor trailers involved in the crash. The crash closed a 12-mile stretch of the eastbound lanes from Bellefonte to Lamar until 9:15 p.m. Wednesday.
