From Henderson Police Chief Marcus Barrow
On the evening of April 30, 2025, at approximately 8:30 PM, a two-vehicle collision occurred on Interstate 85 near the 213-mile marker. The incident involved a 2015 Freightliner box-style truck and a 2018 Volvo semi-truck.
Preliminary reports indicate that the collision occurred when the Freightliner struck the rear of the Volvo semi-truck, pushing the both vehicles into the secondary-left lane. The impact caused the operator of the Freightliner to become pinned inside the vehicle. Emergency personnel responded promptly to the scene and successfully extricated the individual. They were transported to a nearby medical facility with non-life-threatening injuries. Traffic was diverted during this time for the safety of the involved parties and the safety of emergency personnel.
The driver of the Volvo semi-truck did not report any injuries at the time of the incident.
The cause of the collision remains under investigation. No further details are available at this time.
