Two people are injured after a multi-car crash in north Charlotte Friday morning.
The crash was reported around 9:45 a.m. in the 8100 block of University City Boulevard, about a quarter-mile north of the U.S. 29-N.C. 49 split.
According to a Charlotte Fire Department spokesperson, it took a crew of 14 firefighters almost 25 minutes to free a motorist from the wreckage.
Medics say two people have been transported to Carolinas Medical Center. One person was suffering from potentially life-threatening injuries.
Details on the cause of the crash are still forthcoming.
