Crash slows traffic in Charleston on busy travel day

3:55 p.m. Friday   The wreck was cleared and traffic was moving normally through the area.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Traffic was slow-moving on I-77 in Charleston Friday afternoon after a multi-vehicle crash.

The wreck happened in the northbound lanes at around 2 p.m. in the curve of the interstate just west of the Leon Sullivan Way exit.

It appears at least a tractor-trailer and passenger vehicle were involved in the crash that has closed two of three northbound lanes.

Traffic was backed up heading into Charleston past the state capitol at 2:30 p.m. Motorists trying to avoid back-up got off at Greenbrier Street creating a back-up on Kanawha Boulevard.

Friday is typically the busiest travel day of the Labor Day weekend.

There was no immediate word on possible injuries connected with the crash.
