SALISBURY, NC — A truck slammed into the back of a stopped car, killing two people in Salisbury. Investigators are trying to figure out why.
The crash closed part of South Jake Alexander Boulevard near Ivy Street during the evening rush hour. Witnesses say the pickup rear-ended a stopped car at full speed.
“It was like somebody was outside my window and took a bucket and banged on my air conditioner out there,” said Salisbury resident Rick Sanders. “That’s how close it sounded and I’m way, I’m more than a thousand feet away from it.”
Two people in the back seat of the car died. The driver and a front seat passenger are both hurt. The driver of the truck is not injured.
