According to Fox Carolina, a tractor trailer was improperly parked in the emergency lane on northbound I-85 and was partially blocking a lane on the highway. Another semi truck pulling double trailers then clipped the end of the parked tractor trailer and jackknifed across the highway.
Both drivers were uninjured in the accident.
The interstate shut down on both sides for cleanup but was completely reopened by noon. The parked truck driver was given a citation for improper parking.
