Traffic snarled across multiple U.S. highways over the weekend and Thursday after a series of crashes blocked lanes and slowed commutes. In Mississippi, an RV-involved wreck congested I-110 near Biloxi, while an overturned 18-wheeler shut down both northbound lanes of I-59 near Lumberton WDAM. No major injuries were reported in either crash, but wreckers worked throughout the day to clear the roadways.
Crashes also disrupted highways in Tennessee, California, North Carolina, Iowa, Washington, Indiana, and Des Moines. A Friday three-car rollover on northbound I-5 near Bellingham, Washington, injured at least one person and backed up traffic about three miles Fox 17. Multiple incidents left drivers searching for alternate routes during peak travel times.
Mississippi Crashes Block Two Major Interstates
An RV-involved multivehicle wreck slowed I-110 south on the Biloxi bridge heading into D'Iberville, Mississippi WLOX. Traffic crawled as the Biloxi Police Department worked the scene. Meanwhile, both northbound lanes of I-59 near Lumberton remained blocked after an 18-wheeler overturned, creating a second bottleneck WDAM. A second truck attempting to navigate around the wreck became stuck, further delaying reopening.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol expected to reopen at least one I-59 lane soon WDAM. Wreckers worked to clear both crash sites throughout the afternoon. The I-110 incident slowed traffic on the busy bridge linking Biloxi and D'Iberville during daylight hours.
I-65 Tennessee Crash Blocks Three Southbound Lanes
A multivehicle crash on I-65 in Williamson County, Tennessee, blocked three of four southbound lanes and the shoulder Fox 17. The crash occurred near mile marker 66.2 at 3:50 p.m., creating major delays for afternoon commuters. Traffic backed up significantly as crews worked to clear the roadway and assess injuries.
Crashes Across West Coast and Midwest Create Detours
A three-car rollover on northbound I-5 near Bellingham, Washington, on Friday injured at least one person and created a three-mile backup. One northbound lane remained closed after southbound lanes reopened Fox 17. Sacramento drivers faced a northbound I-5 closure, though the airport off-ramp stayed open. The California Highway Patrol suggested using the Metro Air Parkway exit as an alternative route.
Eastbound I-40 near Durham, North Carolina, saw heavy congestion near Exit 278 at the N.C. 55 access, with traffic backing up nearly two miles. Two ambulances were dispatched, though officials had not confirmed injuries Fox 17. Northbound I-380 near Hiawatha, Iowa, was restricted, as was westbound I-235 in Des Moines, which injured one person and temporarily closed the inside lane and shoulder.
