A multiple-vehicle crash on Interstate 64 near Charleston caused significant traffic disruption Tuesday morning, with two eastbound lanes closed following the collision.
According to the information available, the crash occurred shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday, prompting a response from emergency crews and resulting in the closure of two eastbound lanes of I-64.
Motorists traveling through the affected section were advised to expect delays as authorities worked at the scene. The lane closures also created the potential for congestion to build as drivers moved through the remaining available lanes.
At the time of the reported update, specific details about the number of vehicles involved, injuries and the circumstances leading to the collision had not been publicly confirmed.
Drivers approaching the crash area should reduce their speed, remain alert for emergency personnel and follow any traffic-control instructions. Motorists are also encouraged to allow additional travel time while crews work to clear the roadway.
It remains unclear from the information provided how long the eastbound lane restrictions will remain in place. Traffic conditions may change as the response continues and vehicles or debris are removed.
The crash serves as another reminder of the importance of caution on busy interstate routes, particularly during morning travel when traffic volumes can increase quickly following an incident.
Further information about injuries, the cause of the crash and when all lanes will reopen should come from local authorities or transportation officials.
