Separate crashes on I-40 send four people to the hospital

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A multi-vehicle crash on the I-40 Bridge shut down all of the westbound lanes late Monday night and sent two people to the hospital.

Officials said the incident happened just after 9:30 p.m. At one point, traffic was backed up from the bridge to Third Street.


Authorities said two people were rushed to a trauma center after that collision.

Several hours later, first responders made the scene of another accident on I-40 between Germantown Parkway and US 64.

Authorities have not said what happened, but said two people were injured.

Traffic is moving again at both locations as of Tuesday morning.
