A tractor-trailer slammed into freeway traffic stopped for President Clinton's motorcade, causing a fiery chain reaction that killed three people. Six cars caught on fire in the Monday afternoon wreck near Mundy Township, Mich. A mother and her infant and another woman died when they were trapped in their cars, police and witnesses said. The president, who was speaking at a rally at the University of Michigan-Flint, issued a statement saying he was "deeply saddened" by the accident. Witnesses told WJRT-TV in Flint that the crash on I-75 ignited at least four stopped cars and two cars on the truck, which was hauling automobiles.
