Wreck on Southbound I 57 north of the Benton exit

by Steve Dunford

Franklin County EMA is reporting traffic is congested north Exit 71 on Interstate 57 due to a traffic crash.

There have already been two minor incidents on the interstate this morning.  One on the North Bound lanes south of Benton, and one near the Marion area.

Please take alternate routes, and as in incidents in the past, Route 37 will be backing up quickly.

I will provide further updates when they become available.
