An unidentified women who was driving one of the other cars had to be excavated from the vehicle using the Jaws of Life and was taken to a nearby hospital, with reportedly “serious injuries”. Two people were injured. The video atop the above-linked Trout story includes a report from the scene which states that the accident occurred when Trout had to slam on his brakes because of another accident that had taken place in front of him, causing him to collide with another vehicle.
