PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WJAR) — A three-car crash on Interstate 95 southbound in Pawtucket left one person with life-threatening injuries Wednesday.
Police said the crash happened at 1:15 p.m. near the Walcott Street overpass.
Officers said one of the vehicles driving northbound lost a tire. The tire then flew into the southbound side and hit a vehicle traveling in the high-speed lane.
"It was just a chaotic scene," said Karen Silveira who saw the aftermath. "We noticed the whole windshield was cracked and the top of the roof was crushed."
Police said the vehicle that was hit by the tire was also rear-ended by another car.
The driver was transported to Rhode Island Hospital in critical condition.
"I just hope everyone that was involved in that crash makes it out OK," Silveira said.
