Published 6:32 pm Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Two crashes involving 18-wheelers occurred on I-65 this afternoon.
There appeared to be no life-threatening injuries from the crashes, which occurred around 4 p.m. Tuesday near the 216-mile marker.
Union Grove Fire Department, Chilton County deputy sheriffs and state troopers responded to the wrecks.
In one wreck, an 18-wheeler collided with a pick-up truck.
This wreck resulted in another wreck behind it on I-65 southbound. Another crash occurred in Thorsby around the same time.
Traffic from the crashes made traffic back for at least a mile on I-65 southbound.
Steady rainfall brought much needed relief from the drought, but it caused several crashes on the roadways yesterday.
