ORIGINAL STORY — Traffic on busy Interstate 64 in Kanawha County was slowed for a second straight day Friday when a tractor-trailer jackknifed near the Dunbar exit.
The wreck, which occurred right around noon, forced the closure of three of the four westbound lanes. Emergency authorities reported the far right lane and shoulder were open shortly after the crash and motorists should expect delays for most of the afternoon.
The wrecked truck was leaking diesel fuel.
