Tragic Accident Causes Chaos

The crash scene looked like a battle field.

Early this morning, a serious accident occurred on Interstate 790, leaving two people dead and many more injured. The accident started initiaally by two tractor-trailers colliding. This caused a chain reaction which involved a total of four tractor-trailers and 14 cars.

The accident required all five of the department's ambulances to respond to the scene. What they found was bodies scattered on the road. A helicopter was also on the scene to fly two of the most seriously injured to a trauma center in Statesville. Four others involved in the accident suffered from injuries that may be life threatening.

Though the accident took place in the northbound lanes of Interstate 790, the severity of the situation caused all lanes to be shut down. There is no word yet of when the lanes will reopen.
