Until about 6:30 a.m., all traffic lanes were closed and traffic was diverted onto the left shoulder to get around the clean-up of the crash. Cars were backed up to Charleston Boulevard.

Drivers were experiencing up to half-hour delays before the travel lanes reopened.

This is a developing story. Check back for details.
