CONCORD, N.C. (AP) - Interstate 85 north near Concord has been reopened after a BMW crashed into a firetruck blocking lanes for a previous wreck.
State troopers told media outlets all four northbound I-85 lanes about 15 miles north of Charlotte had to be closed for several hours to clean up the wrecks not long after 1 a.m. Monday.
Authorities say the firetruck was blocking lanes after a wreck near the Bruton Smith Boulevard exit when the BMW smashed into the truck at almost full speed.
The BMW’s driver was taken to the hospital. His condition was not known. No firefighters were hurt.
The firetruck was so badly damaged it had to be towed away from the wreck.
