According to an eyewitness, a Chevy Silverado was northbound and made impact with two vehicles, a Hyundai and a Kia, stopped at the light. “They hit so hard it knocked the tire out from under the back of the vehicle,” said eyewitness, John Kirby Day.

A Warren County Fire Fighter was near the scene of the accident and was the first to arrive on the scene. He reported a pregnant woman was injured. A few minutes later another ambulance was dispatched to the scene of the accident to treat two additional injured people.
