KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) – Three people were taken to the hospital Wednesday night following a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 40 that shut down the westbound lanes for a few hours.
According to the Knoxville Police Department, the crash on I-40W at Rutledge Pike resulted in three people being sent to UT Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
Preliminary investigations lead KPD to believe the incident was a rear-end crash.
All the westbound lanes were shut down at the crash site near mile marker 391, due to the spread of the crash, backing up night traffic for miles.
