Jackknifed Semi Snarls Traffic On I-75 Near Rouge River Bridge

DETROIT (WWJ) - A jackknifed semi-truck caused quite a backup on I-75 in the thick of the morning rush hour Thursday.

The accident happened just after 8:30 a.m. on southbound I-75 at Schaefer Avenue, near the Rouge River Bridge.

Traffic was backed up for more than a mile while crews worked to move the semi-truck, which was blocking all lanes, to the shoulder. All lanes have since reopened to traffic.

It's unclear if anyone was injured.
