Multi-vehicle crash shuts down part of Interstate 40

LAKELAND, Tenn. — A section of Interstate 40 was closed for approximately two hours following a multi-vehicle crash near Lakeland overnight.

The crash involved at least four vehicles and happened just before 4 a.m. Thursday in the westbound lanes of I-40 east of the Canada Rd. exit.
