A traffic alert posted on Facebook said northbound and southbound lanes of Getwell Road are closed from Church Road south to College Road due to an accident. The post said the lanes are shut until further notice and urged motorists to use alternate routes and expect delays in the area.
Getwell Road is a primary north-south corridor for local traffic, and a closure along this stretch can cause significant backups on parallel streets and affect daily commutes. Drivers traveling through the area should allow extra time or seek alternate routes to avoid the blocked section.
The Facebook post did not provide details about the cause of the crash, injuries or the number of vehicles involved. Motorists should follow directions from traffic authorities and be prepared for emergency responders on scene.
Local officials and traffic-monitoring services may post updates as the situation develops. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
