The westbound lane of the highway is closed as of 6 p.m. Wednesday, but traffic has been re-routed through the Paddy’s Pond Access Road.

Two of the vehicles suffered extensive damage as a result of the accident, while the third vehicle landed in the median approximately 150-feet away from the other vehicles.
