Traffic officials said the wreck was reported around 11:40 a.m. on Saturday near Exit 9 (Wilkinson Blvd.) on I-485. Medic confirmed this is a serious accident with multiple patients. Tragically, six people were pronounced dead at the scene and one other was transported with non-life-threatening injuries.
Medic said this is still an active scene. A Queen City News photographer was at the scene around 2:30 p.m., and he said I-485 Outer was still completely shut down.
As a detour to avoid traffic or road closures, drivers can take Exit 10A to I-85 North, then take Exit 38 to I-77 South, and then back onto I-485.
Meanwhile, Medic also said they responded to another crash on I-485 at I-85 south, where one person was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. This is near the fatal accident, but it is a separate crash, Medic said.
Police have not said what led to the crash or if any charges will be filed.
“Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this horrific incident,” Medic said
