One Seriously Injured in Early Sunday Crash on I-85 Northbound Ramp to I-485
A single person was seriously hurt in a crash on the I-85 northbound ramp to I-485 near the Cabarrus County line early Sunday, according to MEDIC. CMPD and fire crews blocked lanes during the investigation, and the cause remains unknown.
CHARLOTTE â One person was seriously injured in a crash on the northbound Interstate 85 ramp connecting to Interstate 485 early Sunday morning, according to Mecklenburg EMS Agency, known as MEDIC.
The collision occurred near the Cabarrus County line in north Charlotte. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers and fire trucks blocked lanes at the scene while crews investigated.
Authorities have not released information on what caused the crash. The condition of the injured person was not immediately available beyond MEDIC's description of the injuries as serious.
The ramp carries traffic from northbound I-85 onto I-485, a busy interchange that serves commuters and freight moving through the northern edge of Mecklenburg County. Lane closures during the response disrupted early-morning travel in the area.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the crash is encouraged to contact CMPD.
