Late Wednesday afternoon authorities responded to a three-vehicle accident where one of the vehicles caught fire. The accident was between a Toyota Corolla, a Jeep Latitude, and a commercial gravel hauler.
The report shows the commercial gravel hauler was headed north when it had a blowout on a front tire. This caused the semi to swerve to the left and hit two vehicles.
The Corolla would end up climbing the median barrier due to the force of the impact until it hits a big metal pole and comes to a stop. Once the vehicle stopped it would catch on fire.
The driver suffered severe injuries and would, unfortunately, pass away in the hospital. The driver of the Latitude would suffer major injuries but is in the hospital getting treatment.
Investigators are still looking into the accident.
