Bad North Carolina 18 Wheeler Truck Accident Near Raleigh Shuts Down I-85

Sadly, here is another one. Yesterday, I saw a story on CNN about a crash involving three 18-wheelers about twenty miles from Raleigh. The wreck killed two people, and one lane of I-85 was shut down for hours. A tractor-trailer traveling along the interstate lost control and hit two trucks parked along the shoulder of the road. Two of the trucks were engulfed in flames, and the driver and a passenger in one of the trucks were killed. Another two drivers were also injured in this truck accident. Thankfully, it does not appear that the injuries to those two drivers were life-threatening.
