UPDATE: Five people were injured -- one critically -- after an accident involving a semi-truck and four other cars on Highway 49 Tuesday morning.

According to Deputy Robert Land, traffic was backed up for bridge construction and there was a flag person stopping traffic at the time of the accident.

He says the semi-truck was coming up the hill towards Macon and didn't stop in time, hitting one vehicle and causing a chain reaction.
