Multiple Crashes Cause Major Traffic Disruptions on I-40, I-85, I-91 East Coast

Multiple traffic incidents are causing significant delays across several states. On I-91 in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, a tractor-trailer carrying cooking oil crashed near Exit 23, leading to lane closures and involvement from the Department of Energy & Environmental Protection, with no injuries reported. In Anderson County, South Carolina, a crash on southbound I-85 between exits 19A and 19B has resulted in unknown lane closures and a standstill, with law enforcement blocking exit 19. Meanwhile, in Henderson County, Tennessee, all eastbound lanes of I-40 remain closed due to an overturned vehicle accident involving hazardous lithium batteries, causing major traffic disruptions and detours at exit 108, with westbound lanes reopened but an uncertain reopening time for eastbound lanes. Authorities in all locations are actively managing the incidents, and updates are ongoing as situations develop. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes and stay tuned for further information.
