Wet Weather Causes Numerous Accidents in Triangle Area
Wet weather was to blame for tying up traffic across the Triangle Friday.
Posted — UpdatedOne on eastbound I-40 at about 2 p.m. backed up traffic for several miles. Another accident near the Wade Avenue exit on Interstate 440 slowed traffic on both sides of the road -- one side to clear the accident and the other side for emergency vehicles to respond.
A multiple-vehicle accident occurred in Cary at about 4 p.m., causing the southbound lanes of the Southwest Cary Parkway at West Chatham Street to close. It was not immediately clear, however, if rain was to blame for that accident.
There were no immediate reports of any serious injuries as a result of the accident, the Highway Patrol said. Raleigh police have no official numbers but said Friday afternoon that officers have responded to "dozens" of wrecks as well.
