MASSIVE Pilup on I-80 near Colfax: WRX in the middle of the pile!?

Hey guys, I was just watching the News, there was a HUGE pileup on I-80 near Colfax (Past Auburn) in the west-bound lanes. Looks like about 50 cars or so, two big pileups probably caused by a truck/car accident that started a fire.
Anyway, as they paned around with the chopper cam, I saw black WRX (saw the hoodscoop), couldnt tell if it was a wagon or sedan though... I hope it wasnt anyone from the clubs (Its commute time too, which worries me)

Its still being cleaned up as of 6:15, all west bound lanes are shut down, probably for another couple hours.
