The Chattanooga
Police Department said in a statement online that 15 people and
nine vehicles were involved in the crash on the I-75 highway on
Thursday evening.
Police said the area north of the crash site would likely be
closed into the early morning hours. Pictures of the scene
published by local media showed traffic snarled behind the
wreckage and that at least one car had burst into flames.
Further information was not immediately available.
