All occupants were wearing seat belts, and all were alert and talking after the crash, Spangler said.

It’s unknown whether speed, drugs or alcohol are a factor in the crash at this time.

Spangler said crews will be working on I-675 for at least a few more hours.

“You never know when it’s going to happen. You always know when you’re going to stop, but never know when you’re going to crash. That’s why you always wanna have your seat belt on,” Spangler said.
