A roadway at the intersection of Tate and 72 cleared after responders worked a motor vehicle accident, a Facebook post said.
The original social media advisory asked drivers to avoid the intersection while emergency personnel were on scene. The later update read “Outdated: Roadway clear,” indicating that lanes were reopened to traffic.
Motor vehicle crashes at busy intersections can quickly cause traffic backups and pose risks to drivers and first responders. Officials often use social media to alert motorists, direct traffic away from scenes and reduce the chance of secondary collisions.
Drivers encountering incident-related delays are advised to follow directions from police or emergency personnel and to seek alternate routes when possible. No additional details about injuries, vehicles involved or the cause of the crash were provided in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
