One eastbound lane is open to keep traffic slowly moving through the area.
Dispatchers couldn't provide any details on whether anyone was injured in the crash or how many vehicles were involved. Our WTOL 11 crew at the scene said it appeared two to three semis were involved in the crash.
Drivers should seek a different route.
Editor's note: OSHP dispatch initially reported the closure was all lanes westbound, however, our WTOL 11 crew on the scene confirms the lane closures are heading east.
