Initial reports indicated uncertainty about whether the collision was blocking the roadway. However, by 2:13 PM, responders confirmed that a black 2015 Chevrolet Silverado had spun out on the highway. Fortunately, the vehicle was found upright shortly thereafter. Despite this, the Silverado sustained moderate rear-end damage, leading to a tow truck being requested at around 2:40 PM.
The collision also involved a second vehicle, which was involved in a rear-end incident following the Silverado's spin-out. Emergency units arrived on the scene by 2:30 PM, and the situation was under control by 3:42 PM, when the last unit cleared the area.
