FIRST RESPONDERS. WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING? WELL, THAT'S RIGHT, STEVE. I DID, AND WE DO HAVE AN UPSETTING UPDATE TONIGHT. FIREFIGHTERS TELL ME THAT ONE WOMAN WHO WAS HURT IN THIS CRASH IS CURRENTLY SUFFERING FROM LIFE THREATENING INJURIES. THEY SAY SHE SOMEHOW ENDED UP DRIVING OFF OF THE HIGHWAYS, TRAVEL LANES AND INTO THE WOODS. AND THEY SAY THIS HAPPENED AROUND 250 THIS AFTERNOON WITH A TOTAL OF 22 RESPONDERS WORKING TO REMOVE HER FROM HER CAR USING THE JAWS OF LIFE, REDIRECTING TRAFFIC, AND EVENTUALLY CLOSING OFF TWO LANES OF THE HIGHWAY AROUND 323 IS WHEN SHE WAS FINALLY PULLED OUT OF THE WRECKAGE AND PLACED IN AN AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL. THE BATTALION CHIEF HERE IN LONDONDERRY TELLS ME THE MEDICAL HELICOPTER THAT WAS REQUESTED TO THIS CRASH DID END UP BEING CANCELED. OF COURSE, AS WE'VE BEEN SAYING, WE KNOW TRAFFIC WAS SERIOUSLY BACKED UP. WE WATCHED CARS JUST BARELY SQUEEZING BY THE TRAFFIC CONES AND SLOWLY MERGING FROM FOUR LANES TO TWO. AND WHILE WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THIS CRASH JUST YET, RESPONDERS ARE REMINDING DRIVERS TO JUST BE PATIENT. THEY'RE OUT ON THE ROADS. THE REMINDER THAT I WOULD GIVE IS, YOU KNOW, SLOW DOWN SPEED IS DEFINITELY A FACTOR IN FATALITIES AND SERIOUS ACCIDENTS WHEN IT COMES TO THE HIGHWAYS AND RIGHT NOW, TWO LANES OFF OF I-93 SOUTH NEAR EXIT FOUR ARE STILL CLOSED TO TRAFFIC. STATE POLICE SAY THEY WILL BE THAT WAY FOR A WHILE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT TONIGHT. WE'LL BE SURE TO KEEP YOU ALL UPDATED WITH ANY NEW INFORMATION WE LEARN
