Unfortunately, authorities report that there were injuries in this crash but, at this time, it is not known if the injuries are life-threatening. Motorists traveling through this area experienced heavy delays around the scene of the crash as the left travel lane of the highway was blocked. Delays were reported for a considerable distance approaching the accident. Authorities eventually cleared the roadway and traffic was allowed to proceed through before 10:00 am.
