That collision occurred in a construction zone between Putnam and Elgin roads and involved as many as four or five vehicles, including a tractor-trailer.
No serious injuries were reported, and charges are also pending, Murray said.
“The only thing that I would like to remind motorists of is that this is a construction zone, and we do need to exude an extreme amount of patience in these areas, especially at this time of year when the construction is happening,” he said.
