Giles County I-65 Accidents

A driver was taken to an Alabama hospital after a commercial vehicle rolled over and crashed along I-65 in Giles County Sunday.

The 18-wheeler wrecked at mile marker 19.6 on I-65 South.

Giles County Fire and Rescue said its personnel, with the help of Giles County EMS, removed one person from the commercial vehicle before he was flown to an appropriate hospital due to concern for the patient.

Due to the size of the incident, first responders said they had to call in a clean-up crew and shut down one of the two southbound travel lanes.

Then, while the traffic along I-65 South was slowed down and funneled into a single lane, fire officials said another crash occurred. However, the two-vehicle crash only resulted in minor injuries.
