Westbound lanes on Clinton Keith were closed while crews mopped up the scene, SWRNN reporter Joe Fanaselle said.
He added traffic was being diverted onto Toulon Drive.
Traffic in both directions slowed to a crawl as emergency crews worked to clear up the accident debris.
“They expect lanes to re-open sometime around 4 p.m.,” Fanaselle said.
