NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Tennessee Department of Transportation says all westbound lanes of Briley Parkway at the intersection of I-65 are closed Thursday afternoon while Nashville Fire Department crews and additional first responders handle a wreck between a car and semi truck.
No injuries have been reported at this time. All travelers in the area should look for alternative routes.
TDOT community relations officer Rebekah Hammonds says the reason for the westbound lane closure lasting over three hours was "many gallons of diesel fuel" being spilled as a result of the crash. She says that a hazmat team is working to clean up the spill.
If you're wondering why SR 155 West is still closed... many gallons of diesel fuel were spilled. A hazmat team is on-site to clean it up. pic.twitter.com/fX6sY98gIl
