Auto Accident Shuts Down I-85
Late Saturday night emergency medical techs responded to an auto accident that shut down the interstate for nearly an hour. The Charlotte auto accident sent five victims to the emergency room, one in critical condition. While many of the details of the auto accident are unknown at this time, it is known and being reported that a vehicle flipped near the Freedom Drive exit.
This certainly reiterates my point that while driving in Charlotte and surrounding areas, it is important to be safe. In these situations driving safely means watching other drivers just as much as watching your own actions. Fortunately, this was an accident that happened when there are not a lot of drivers on the road. This could have been a much worse accident if this happened when the interstate is congested with a lot of vehicles.
Also, it’s important to follow safety provisions such as signaling to change lanes, wearing a seatbelt, and following the speed limit. These laws are set in place to reduce the frequency and severity of these interstate accidents and keep all of us safe—or at least as safe as reasonably possible.
