An accident on I-69 leaves one in the hospital and another burning to death in the car, causing a backup in traffic on the north-south lanes. Identifying the individual in the hospital proves challenging, for his face is bandaged because of numerous severe facial lacerations. The driver's body is burned beyond recognition. Determining their identities is made even more difficult as many leads to their identities dissipate as many of the itineraries of those who were to travel with him that day were not confirmed ...so nobody is sure who it may be. Another ray of doubt is cast when it is told that he picked up a hitchhiker. That's not all. The financial world is sent into a tailspin with the death announcement, with the charged person shocking everyone.
