MOORESVILLE, N.C. — A 50-year-old Stanley man died in a crash Tuesday afternoon on Interstate 77 in Iredell County, the North Carolina State Highway Patrol said.
At about 1 p.m., a 2016 Chevy Silverado was traveling south on the interstate in Mooresville near mile marker 32 when it didn’t slow down, hit a tractor-trailer, and spun out of control striking another 18-wheeler.
The driver of the Chevrolet, Gary Wayne Hammond, died at the scene, the sheriff said.
Everyone was wearing seat belts.
Impairment does not appear to be a factor in the wreck.
The other drivers were not hurt.
