At approximately 15:29 crews were dispatched to a reported traffic accident with injury at the 79000 block of South I 85. As crews begin to respond communications advised that they were receiving multiple calls that it was going to be at the 76000 block, and it was being upgraded to a traffic accident w/ pin in.
