According to MSHP Troop D Public Information Officer Mike McClure, state troopers stopped a U-Haul traveling east on I-44 about one mile west of Marshfield at 4:30 p.m. for a moving violation.

A further investigation revealed that there were 14 people inside the truck, including seven minors aged 2-13 and four adults in the cargo area, as well as three adults in the front.
