Tractor-Trailer Accidents Cause Major Highway Closures

Multiple major highways across the United States have experienced significant closures due to various accidents involving tractor-trailers. In Tennessee, a fatal crash led to the closure of northbound lanes on I-75 near Lenoir City, with authorities urging drivers to find alternate routes. Similarly, in West Virginia, a crash involving several tractor-trailers shut down northbound lanes of the West Virginia Turnpike for several hours. In Missouri, a crash between two tractor-trailers closed the southbound lanes of Interstate 29, causing traffic delays. Meanwhile, in Detroit, eastbound I-696 was closed at several points due to a jackknifed semi-truck, contributing to significant traffic backups. In North Carolina, a deadly crash on I-485 near Mallard Creek Road led to temporary closures, although lanes have since reopened. These incidents highlight ongoing traffic challenges and the importance of staying updated on travel advisories.
