SOUTH POINT, Oh (WSAZ) -- Thousands of barbeque grills will be cooking across the area this Fourth of July holiday weekend, but one grill is actually to blame for a multi-car pile up Thursday afternoon.
It happened on US 52 just east of South Point around 3:30 pm.
The accident closed the westbound lanes of the highway for about an hour while crews cleaned up the mess.
Firefighters say an unsecured grill fell out of the back of a pickup truck. It broke up into several pieces causing the traffic behind the truck to weave and try and miss the grill. That set off a string of accidents along the highway.
One person was taken to the hospital, but their injuries did not appear to be life threatening.

So if cars are stopped on the roadway and you barrel into the back of the last stopped one, it's the first person in line who is at fault? I don't think so. A)the grill didn't break, just came loose and the guys were trying to get it secured again B) the other 2 cars managed to get stopped and not plow into anyone because they were paying attention C) NOT THE GRILL'S FAULT!! If people would get off their cell phones, have valid driver's licenses and pay attention, these things would happen less frequently. What if this would have been a crash? or a broken down car that couldn't get off the road? Are you going to blame them? Point is, watch what you're doing. Hey Pablo - so if you're ever stopped in the road and get slammed in the rear - I hope you get a ticket for impeding traffic.
