An earlier traffic alert posted to social media warned motorists that Highway 30 near the medical facility would be slowed while crews worked the accident scene and urged drivers to use an alternate route. The post did not provide details about injuries, the number of vehicles involved or the cause of the crash.
Highway 30 is a frequently traveled route for commuters and local traffic, and even short closures can cause delays during morning travel hours. Traffic alerts like the one posted help drivers plan alternate routes and allow emergency and tow crews to clear scenes safely.
