Medics are responding to another major crash involving multiple cars, near the site of a 26-vehicle pileup earlier in the day, Austin-Travis EMS officials said Thursday evening.
EMS officials said 14 people were involved in the crash. Three were taken to the hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening, they said.
Emergency officials around 6:09 p.m. tweeted that at least six cars crashed near the 13700 block of Texas 45. Medics got a call about the crash around 5:42 p.m. Thursday.
Earlier in the evening, EMS officials said five cars had to be towed out of the area.
Officials said they are recommending that the area be shut down for the evening.
Austin police have arrested two men in connection to two separate fatal shootings that started off as road rage incidents last year.
Manuel Huerta, 21, has been charged with murder in both shootings, which happened in late November and the day after Christmas, police said. Jonathan Zavala, 33, was charged with murder in connection to the shooting after Christmas.
Authorities also said they believe the two men could be connected to about 11 different cases being investigated by Austin police dating back to September. Police on Wednesday did not say what all 11 cases were about. I think this is still the tip of the iceberg, there are still charges to come, and we believe there may be additional suspects currently still at large, or at least people of interest who may have information, Austin police Detective Filemon Zamora said at a Wednesday news conference.
