Friday, July 5, 2013

A jack-knifed tractor trailer is blocking most of Interstate 24 east at the Moore Road exit, but Chattanooga police expect to have the site cleared soon.

Chattanooga police dispatchers said around 6:15 p.m. that there was a light fluid leak at the site of the wreck, but that the leak was "nothing major" and not a hazardous material situation.

Fire crews had cleared the site for hazardous materials and police were waiting for a tow truck to haul away the 18-wheeler, according to police dispatchers.
