Multiple Vehicle Crashes Block I-40 Lanes, Cause Traffic Disruptions

Multiple incidents have caused significant disruptions on Interstate 40 in different locations. A multi-vehicle crash early Friday morning near Whitten Road in Memphis has resulted in all westbound lanes being blocked, causing traffic delays. Earlier in the week, eastbound I-40 near McLoud was narrowed to one lane due to an overturned semi-truck, leading to similar warnings for drivers to avoid the area. Additionally, I-40 East in Johnston County was closed on Thursday due to icy conditions affecting road safety. These incidents underscore the ongoing challenges faced by drivers on I-40 as adverse conditions and accidents continue to occur. Authorities are advising motorists to seek alternate routes and exercise caution when traveling.
