CINCINNATI — A jack-knifed semi truck completely blocked all northbound lanes on I-75 near downtown Tuesday morning, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation and Cincinnati police.
ODOT reported the northbound side of the highway was closed at the I-75/I-71 split, just north of the Brent Spence Bridge before around 10 a.m. Tuesday. A photo shared by the Cincinnati Police Department showed a jack-knifed semi truck blocking all lanes of the northbound side of the highway.
The closure backed traffic up across the Brent Spence Bridge and into Northern Kentucky.
Cincinnati police said no one was hurt in the crash. However, oil and gas did spill on the roadway.
The road has since opened.
