Highway 10 North Briefly Closed Near Royalton After Multi-Vehicle Crash

(KNSI) – A multi-vehicle accident has traffic snarled on north Highway 10 near Royalton.

The crash almost became a significant pileup. A witness at the scene says police set up a barricade to close the road. In the immediate aftermath of the collision around 12:40 p.m. Wednesday, a semitruck was in the median. Two other vehicles had severe damage to their front ends.

Fifteen to 20 cars were trapped between the crash and where the barricade was located. Several had minor damage as it is presumed they hit each other trying to avoid the larger accident ahead of them.

The incident happened at Highway 10 and 63rd Street.
