FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — At least one person was killed Monday morning in a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 95 northbound near mile marker 53 in Cumberland County. The crash occurred around 6:30 a.m. near NC-24.

Investigators told Eyewitness News that a disabled dump truck was parked in the breakdown lane with a service truck nearby on the side of the road. A semi-truck sideswiped both vehicles, hitting the mechanic and rear-ending the dump truck. One person was pronounced dead at the scene, though authorities have not yet released their identity.
