Authorities closed down a section of I-85 Northbound on Friday evening due to a car accident. The crash occurred around 4:00 p.m. at the Mallard Creek Church Road exit.
The N.C. Highway Patrol is saying the damage and injuries are serious. Officers stated that a motorcycle apparently rammed the back of a passenger car after the passenger car stopped to avoid colliding with slower traffic. Authorities are estimating the impact was so violent that it potentially forced the passenger car into another truck on the interstate.
Two people were treated for very serious injuries after the accident, according to a report. There still remains little information as to both of their conditions.

A horrific accident has left a Charlotte teen paralyzed from the neck down.
The experienced swimmer was in Brazil with his parents when he was injured after diving into shallow water that was approximately knee high according to witnesses. The teen nearly drowned from the accident.
For over a month, family members have been trying to get the teen back home to Charlotte, but the air ambulance needed to make the trip costs over $70,000.
Friends and neighbors of the teen have held several fundraisers to raise money for the air ambulance. Their work has apparently raised enough money to make a deposit, allowing the teen to come home on December 1 if all goes as planned.
Medics are hopeful that doctors here can help the teen walk again.
Studies by the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistics Center reveal there are roughly 11,000 reported incidences of spinal cord injury (from causes including diving) per year in the United States.

A young Charlotte woman is adjusting to a new life after suffering a traumatic brain injury in a crash in September.
The 21-year-old woman has spent the majority of the last seven weeks in a coma after an enraged driver hit her car head-on and took off.
She now has to wear special glasses to mitigate double vision and one of her arms remains in a cast.
Despite the disheartening circumstances of the crash, the woman has maintained an optimistic outlook, claiming that her faith has only been strengthened by the crash.
She still has many goals and ambitions after surviving the crash and plans on eventually becoming a pharmacist.
According to witnesses, the hit-and-run driver was driving a silver SUV.
Each year in the United States, traumatic brain injuries contribute to a substantial number of deaths and cases of permanent disability. Furthermore, recent data reveals that, on average, around 1.7 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury per year.
