One person died and another suffered serious injuries following a wrong-way accident on I-16E that also forced authorities to close down a portion of the highway.
The preliminary reports showed that a vehicle was traveling on the wrong side of the interstate when it collided with a tractor trailer on I-16E near exit 162. A short time later, a third vehicle that was heading east crashed into the wrong-way vehicle and then hit the tractor trailer. The wrong-way motorist was killed in the wreck.
The passenger of the at-fault vehicle had serious injuries. The incident reportedly did not cause any other injuries. I-16E between Chatham Parkway and Dean Forest Road was shut down following the accident while crews worked at the scene. The road was later reopened. No other details are available.
The crash remains under review.
