Corpus Christi Police have shut down northbound lanes of the Crosstown Expressway Monday evening.<\/p>\n
The other two victims who were taken to the hospital had minor injuries.<\/p>\n
It appears that at least five vehicles were involved- a Chrysler 300, a silver Honda Accord minivan, a red Ford pickup truck, a gray sedan, and a jeep that appears to be totaled.<\/p>\n
There’s no word yet on what led to the crash but one of the victims told KRIS 6 News someone in a Chrysler 300 was traveling at a high rate at speed and clipped her minivan. She said she’s fine but a little sore.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, there’s several pieces of debris that litter the freeway and the grassy median nearby.<\/p>\n
There’s no word yet on how long that portion of the Crosstown Expressway will be closed.<\/p>\n
Police told us the freeway will reopen after traffic investigators wrap up their investigation.<\/p>\n
This is a developing story. We’ll update this article as soon as more information becomes available. <\/p>\n
