CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The State Highway Patrol is investigating a deadly crash at the intersection of the outer loop of Interstate 485 and I-77 South in southwest Charlotte.

  • One person is dead in the crash.
  • The crash involved two trucks.
  • No word on what led to the crash.

The white box truck appears to have damage on the passenger side wheel.
