A two-vehicle crash on Interstate 59 tangled traffic on the highway for several hours. According to the police department the truck accident happened in the northbound lane of Interstate 59 and involved a pickup truck and a tractor-trailer.
Police officials indicate, that the pickup attempted to merge onto the highway when the accident occurred. The police department responded to the crash site and the investigation into the cause of the truck accident is ongoing.
The collision was significant and the pickup truck was dragged over 100 yards before coming to rest at the crash site. Skid marks from the tractor-trailer were apparent to the officers investigating the wreck.
The cause of the tractor-trailer accident is not currently available, however one must wonder if the pickup truck appropriately yielded the right of way when entering the interstate.
