July 22, 2010, by Michael A. DeMayo

A multi-vehicle crash involving two tractor-trailers that took place at around 11 pm last night has left three people with injuries. The Charlotte, North Carolina semi-truck crash took place on Interstate 85.

According to police, one tractor-trailer crashed into another auto as the trucker attempted to change lanes. The second auto was shoved off the road where it struck a guardrail before reentering traffic and getting hit by another semi-truck. Meantime, the large truck that started the chain reaction hit another vehicle, which also struck a guardrail before careening back into traffic, and then drove off the ramp and jackknifed into a ditch.

One person sustained serious injuries. Two other truck crash victims suffered minor injuries.
