A couple killed along I-80 when a semi crossed the center divider were from Petaluma.

Solano County identified them as Phang Phetsomphou, 76, and Bouaket Phetsomphou, 74.

The couple was driving west and had just passed Davis when they were hit by the semi, their car caught fire and both died in the accident.

The semi driver is still being treated in the hospital for burns and other injuries. He told the CHP he was eating, started coughing and blacked out. He then swerved from the eastbound lanes into westbound traffic.

It took hours for crews to remove the debris from I-80.
