Although several vehicles sustained severe damage, injuries to everyone involved in the multi-car crash were reportedly minor and no one was hospitalized.
Police arrested Newsome on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol.
The chain reaction crash caused the closure of Highway 441 for almost two hours as damages were assessed, injured persons were treated at the scene; police and fire departments arrived and secured and/or removed damaged vehicles.
The fact that no one was seriously injured in the crash seems a fluke of luck. Police have not released details of how fast Newsome was driving, but the fact his vehicle was traveling fast enough to collide with five other vehicles seems a good indication he must have been moving at a decent clip. Also, given that he was under the influence of alcohol that just compounds the risk of a deadly crash (according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) and proves everyone involved in that collision was having a “lucky” day.
