Dave Rankila already had put in his day as a St. Louis County, Missouri highway crew supervisor and was on his other “job” — Cook Volunteer Ambulance Service driver — when he arrived at Tuesday night’s fatal accident near Cook.

It was a bad scene at the intersection of state highways 73 and 1, Rankila said, with five people in a Honda Accord pinned underneath a big semitrailer carrying grain. All five of the people trapped were from a local summer camp.
