Crews Respond To Multi-Vehicle Crash On I-35 In Norman

Emergency crews were called to the scene of a multi-vehicle crash on the southbound side of Interstate 35, near State Highway 9 in Norman, Thursday morning.

A semi, a box truck and at least one other vehicle were involved in the crash on the Canadian River bridge, between the east and westbound highway 9 entrances. All of the vehicles involved caught fire as a result of the collision.

Authorities had to shut down all lanes of SB I-35 while crews work the scene. Traffic on that side of the highway is backed up for miles due to the crash. As of 3:30 p.m., police had two lanes of traffic open on SB I-35 and two lanes of traffic open on the northbound side. But the area remains heavily congested due to ongoing cleanup of the accident.

TRAFFIC ALERT: SB I35 traffic is being detoured at Flood/Hwy 77. Motorists will then go E on Tecumseh and S on 12th St through Noble
