As other folks have pointed out, there are a lot of reasons why someone might simply walk (run, or crawl) away from such an accident

California authorities are trying to determine the whereabouts of at least 9 drivers involved in the deadly I-5 tunnel crash.
Ten people injured in the crash were taken to area hospitals, another 10 escaped the flames uninjured, three others, including a 6 year old were killed in the crash. That totals 23 people, but the CHP says 31 vehicles were involved in the crash which leaves at least 9 drivers unaccounted for at this time.[edit on 21-10-2007 by HeavilyArmed]
I have spoken to several people about this incident, mostly truckers, and have come up with only three possible answers.
1. The drivers were either illegal immigrants, or drivers in the new Mexican Trucking Pilot Program. If it were to be true that the drivers were illegal or part of the Pilot Program and made a run for the border then we will never hear it from the media.
2. Possible terrorist attack. Pretty lame attack with low casualties, 10 injured and only 3 fatalities, and no serious loss of infrastructure. Only a lot of traffic delays. Nothing new in Southern California.
3. Abducted by aliens. Not likely since I've never heard of spaceships saving people from traffic accidents, not to mention no reports of a spaceship around the accident site.

Strange how these events are not getting the media coverage. Who can forget about the bridge in Minneapolis.
