Breaking News: Major Crash on I-485 in Nashville Leaves One Dead, Another Airlifted to Medical Facility in Critical Condition
June 24 , 2024Charlotte, North Carolina — June 21, 2024 — According to WBTV3, a serious crash on I-485 involving two tractor-trailers and three other vehicles left one person dead and another in critical condition. The crash happened on the outer loop between Mallard Creek Road and Prosperity Church Road, ending in one person being airlifted to the hospital and one being killed.
According to the North Carolina Highway Patrol, the initial crash happened on the inner loop between a car and a tractor-trailer. That crash forced the tractor-trailer to go left of center, through the median cables, into oncoming traffic on the outer loop, then hit a second tractor-trailer head-on. Another passenger vehicle on the outer loop then hit one of the tractor-trailers.
The driver of the first tractor-trailer was identified as Darrell Kee Buelin of Yadkinville. He was killed at the scene.
The driver of the second tractor-trailer is in critical condition. Four other people were evaluated but were not taken to the hospital.
According to Highway Patrol, speed does not appear to be a contributing circumstance, but the investigation is still ongoing. Charges are pending.
Our thoughts are with Mr. Buelin’s loved ones, friends, and family.
