The first vehicle, which had been traveling northbound, stopped in an inside lane waiting to make a left turn, Ellington said, with a second vehicle stopped behind it.

The third vehicle, operated by Mohrmann, rear-ended the second vehicle, causing it to strike the first vehicle.

Ellington said everyone involved in the accident refused medical treatment, he said.
