JEFFERSON COUNTY, TN — A rollover crash involving a tractor-trailer was reported Wednesday morning on Interstate 81 near the unincorporated community of Talbott, according to 1o News.
The accident happened on northbound I-81 at mile marker 3 near Carmichael Road, three miles north of the Interstate 40 split toward Asheville and the Tri-Cities. It was first reported at about 3:30 p.m.
Authorities have not said what caused the semi-truck to overturn, but at around 9:00 a.m., the northbound interstate was closed as crews worked to clear the vehicle from the roadway.
At least a partial closure was expected to remain in place until about 10:15 a.m., causing a miles-long backup.
It was unclear whether anyone was hurt or had to be taken to the hospital.
