Traffic came to a standstill on the 5000 block of North Interstate Highway 35 after a major crash left three people injured on Friday evening, as reported by Austin-Travis County EMS. The incident, which involved a serious collision prompting road closures and delays, unfolded shortly before 7:00 p.m., with the area's central location causing significant disruption to Austin's usual traffic flow.
Authorities from Austin-Travis County EMS and Austin Fire Department quickly arrived on the scene to manage the situation, where all three patients were deemed trauma alerts due to the severity of the collision. In response to the emergency, medics transported the injured parties to Dell Seton Medical Center, one of whom suffered serious injuries conveyed the weight of the impact and the urgency of the rescue effort.
The aftermath of the crash led to Austin's busy roadways experiencing significant backups, according to KXAN. Motorists were advised to seek alternative routes as the northbound lanes traffic is heavy. The identities of those involved have not been disclosed.
