On the busy road of I-790, two tractor trailers collided and caused a multi-car, deadly accident. It included 16 vehicles total, two dead, twenty injured, four of which were life threatening.
The accident happened at 6:45a.m. It left the Interstate to detour to I-690 until at least 10 a.m. and Sgt. Albert Wei didn’t know when it would be opened back up. When fire chief Tony Sullivan arrived at the accident he said it looked something like a war zone. He also said that they had to cut the roof of three of the cars to get the passengers out.
They had to fly down two of the victims down to Statesville in the Life Flight copter from Memorial Hospital which is a 50 mile fly. It also took five fire departments and ambulances from four other cities to work on the damage and victims of the crash.
Sullivan said that in his 18 and half years in the fire department, he never saw anything this back.
Wei said that the investigation is still an ongoing process.

I think you meant, "he never saw anything this bad" I like how you ended it though.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you use Interstate 790 in the title because you have never referenced it before?
