According to Total Traffic, the northbound side of the roadway closed between U.S. 30 and Route 126 after the crash, which occurred just after 6 p.m.
Traffic ultimately backed up all the way to U.S. 52 because of the collision, according to authorities.
Traffic was temporarily stopped on the southbound side of the roadway to clear a landing spot for a medical helicopter, according to officials.
The total number of injuries stemming from the crash, as well as the cause of that collision, remains unknown at this time.
