On Sunday, July 6th, at approximately 3:00 p.m., Troopers responded to a multi-vehicle crash on I-65 northbound lanes near the 236 mile-marker. This location is three miles south of the Lowell exit. This area of interstate is a construction zone without emergency shoulders and the north and southbound lanes are separated by a concrete barrier wall.

Preliminary investigation shows that a JB Hunt semi was traveling northbound in the right lane when the attached trailer drove off the right side of the roadway and struck the guardrail. The semi then struck three other vehicles as well as the concrete divider wall before overturning and blocking all lanes of travel northbound and one lane of southbound traffic. The driver of the semi was transported to a local hospital for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries. Minor injuries were reported by the other drivers and occupants involved in the crash.

Due to the massive amount of damage to the barrier wall and the extensive crash scene cleanup, all northbound traffic was diverted at S.R. 10 (exit 230) and southbound was restricted to one lane.

As of the writing of this report, 11:00 p.m. CST, northbound traffic remains diverted at S.R.10, southbound traffic is still restricted to one lane, and there is no timetable for complete reopening, but it is anticipated by early Monday morning.
