A MORNING MESS ON I-90

Traffic on I-90 this morning was backed up for miles after several traffic crashes. The first of at least 5 crashes occurred on the Black River Bridge, as that crash was being cleared up the next call came in for a crash on the bridge over Route 57. Shortly after that Elyria Police responded to I-90, eastbound near the Route 57 South ramp for two more crashes. Traffic was backed up past Middle Ridge Road waiting to get past that crash site. Once those cars got past and started driving at a normal rate of speed for I-90 again they were met with more brake lights just past Route 254. Another crash in the eastbound lane near Route 611 was the cause of that back up.

In all crashes only minor injuries were reported.
