Paramedics transported the woman who was pinned inside her vehicle to Kendall Regional Medical Center as a trauma alert. They also transported two other victims to area hospitals with minor injuries.
The crash led authorities to shut down several lanes of the highway, creating traffic congestion. They have since reopened, including the off-ramp onto Kendall Drive, which remained closed for hours.
