CHARLOTTE, N.C. — An overturned truck on one of Charlotte's interstate roadways - again.
Around 1 p.m. Monday, a truck carrying lumber overturned on Interstate 85 near Sam Wilson Road and Moores Chapel Road in west Charlotte. Traffic heading toward Gaston County from the area of Charlotte Douglas International Airport and all of west Charlotte is experiencing delays. The crash closed the right two lanes.
Traffic entering I-85 southbound from Interstate 485 would also be impacted.
As a detour, drivers can use U.S. 74, also known as Wilkinson Boulevard, to bypass the crash.
The North Carolina Highway Patrol is among the emergency agencies working to clean up the crash.
The lanes were closed for hours while crews worked to remove the overturned truck.
Earlier Monday, drivers on Interstate 77 southbound near Carowinds and the South Carolina state line experienced delays for an overturned tanker truck. One person is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries in relation to the crash, according to Medic.
Later Monday, a logging truck overturned on US 521 in Indian Land, South Carolina.
