Initial reports indicate that an SUV rear-ended a semi-truck under unclear circumstances. The impact left the SUV disabled in the slow lane, while the semi-truck came to a stop on the right shoulder. Shortly after the first collision, a third vehicle struck the stationary SUV, compounding the scene and escalating the danger for all involved.
Emergency crews arrived to find damaged vehicles scattered across the slow lane and right shoulder. One individual was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of minor injuries. It has not yet been confirmed whether the injuries occurred during the initial crash or the secondary impact.
Authorities closed off portions of the affected lanes while they investigated the sequence of events and cleared debris. No further injuries or citations have been reported, and the crash remains under investigation.
We extend our best wishes to the injured person and hope for a quick and full recovery.
