Eight Vehicle Pile Up on Highway 41 and I-5

September 1, 2011- An eight car pile up occurred just before 2 PM Thursday, on Highway 41 and Interstate 5, just outside Kettleman City an hour from Visalia. The pile up caused Highway 41 to shut down in both directions for several hours.

The CHP have reported that the accident involved a semi truck and seven other vehicles. Traffic was at a standstill before the crash happened, due to construction. The big rig slammed on his brakes, which then caused a chain reaction.

Witnesses said the semi truck driver swerved to the left, clipped one car, in a series of cars, and then ended up piling up all the cars, and went into the opposite lane. At that point the big rig lost control, swerved back, and hit another truck. That truck got propelled into an SUV.

Four people were reported as injured, and were taken to the hospital. With one of them being airlifted to Community Regional Medical Center, in Fresno.
