Goodwin and her colleagues, Jackson Buffington, Sean Husk, and Shannon Foster, were supporting the North Carolina State Highway Patrol in blocking a section of interstate in northeast Charlotte near West WT Harris Boulevard.
These cops had taken the place of previous officers who had stopped the route when a vehicle carrying grain spilled a sticky substance on it at 10:30 p.m.
Chief Jennings said the roadway had been cleaned enough to restore one southbound lane around 1 a.m. Later, at 3:40 a.m, two trucks driving southward collided. Those vehicles thereafter crashed with the cops from the CMPD.
