Police say a highway pileup near the Smoky Mountains has critically injured three people and at least 10 others have been taken to the hospital.
Sevierville (Sa-VEER-ville), Tenn., police spokesman Bob Stahlke (STALL-key) says the six-car Labor Day wreck happened at about 11:30 a.m. EDT in one of the southbound lanes of Tennessee 66. Traffic was blocked about four hours, including northbound lanes for a time.
Stahlke says an adult and two children were taken to University of Tennessee Medical Center with critical injuries after their car ended up under a pickup truck towing another car.
Stahlke says it's not believed any of the other injuries are life-threatening.
He says the holiday weekend is one of the busiest of the year for the area, with heavy traffic traveling the main corridor of Highway 66.
