WARREN CO., Ohio -- Traffic is moving again after a crash early Wednesday morning in Warren County.

Officials say several tractor-trailers and an SUV collided on southbound I-75 near Monroe around 3 a.m.  The accident happened just past the Hendrickson Road Overpass.

The force of the crash was intense enough to jackknife and crush much of the truck's cab.

Two people in the SUV and one of the truck drivers were injured. They were taken by ground ambulance to the Atrium Medical Center. No word yet on their identities or conditions.

The crash also ruptured fuel tanks on at least one of the trucks, which brought a haz-mat crew to the scene to assist with cleaning up diesel fuel off the highway.

There was a half mile back-up of traffic caught just behind this accident.

Traffic was detoured off I-75 south at Route 122, the Middletown Exit.
