Wet road conditions are being blamed for a wild accident on Interstate 77 at mile marker 48 on Monday evening.

Police are reporting a tractor trailer jack-knifed then caused a pile up on Interstate 77 at around 5 p.m.

Fire fighters who spoke to 59News said a tractor trailer lost control and ran into a truck hauling a home and an RV.

Brandy Thomas is a fire fighter for Bradley-Prosperity Fire Department and said this accident is an example for everyone to pay attention on wet roads, "asphalt is always slick it has holes in it. So they need to watch and keep a good space between each other. You never know what's going to happen."

The victims in the crash suffered minor injuries.
