1 critically injured after I-24 crash involving 3 vehicles.
A crash involving three cars on eastbound Interstate 24 sent several people to the hospital Wednesday night.
I-24 was shut down for several hours near Harding Place starting around 10 p.m. when the crash happened.
Witnesses say they watched a 2013 Nissan Sentra weave slightly before coming to a complete stop in the inside eastbound lane.
The driver was later identified as 41-year-old Tresa Partee of Nashville.
Police say a 2007 Nissan Maxima hit Partee's vehicle, and then a 1995 Nissan Maxima hit the 2007 Nissan.
Partee was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
The other drivers were taken to TriStar Southern Hills Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. They were later treated and released.
Investigators are not sure why Partee stopped her car but are looking into the possibility that she could have been suffering from a medical condition.
Officials say there are no signs of alcohol being involved at this time.
