Hours earlier Durham, a silver convertible was in some sort of accident and was blocking the right northbound lane of HWY-147 near Alexander Drive.
Shortly after that, a second accident occurred around 3:45 a.m. It appeared as though a tractor-trailer hit the convertible while it was disabled in the road.
Police had the right lane blocked off to clear the scene.
