Effective October 11, 2016 at approximately 7:00 AM, all westbound lanes of Interstate 26 are temporarily shut down at mile marker 3. This closure comes as a result of a 3-car motor vehicle collision. One person has been transported (non-emergency) to an area medical facility for evaluation. Wreckers have been called, but until their arrival, traffic is at a standstill. Motorists are asked to please be patient and avoid the area if at all possible.
