AT THIS TIME, EASTBOUND TRAFFIC IS BACKED UP TO THE HARDY TOLL ROAD. IT COULD BE SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE ALL LANES ARE BACK OPEN.
THERE WAS A SECONDARY CRASH WHEN THE DRIVER OF A JEEP TRIED TO CUT IN FRONT OF AN 18 18-wheeler that was IN TRAFFIC. THE 18 WHEELER SIDESWIPPED THE JEEP CLOSING THE ENTIRE EAST BOUND LANE FOR A SHORT TIME.
