Officials have offered additional details concerning a serious collision on Saturday morning in the western part of Charlotte that resulted in the death of Kamron Wood and five other individuals.
The accident happened approximately at 11 a.m. on the outer loop section of Interstate 485 located between Wilkinson Boulevard and West Boulevard.
Investigators indicate that a Honda CRV being driven by a 16-year-old named Logan Sauer moved from the center lane over into the right lane. This action resulted in a collision with a Chrysler van.
