UPDATE:
The wreck appears to have cleared as traffic is flowing smoothly again.

ORIGINAL STORY:
On September 25, 2025, a two-vehicle collision involving two SUVs disrupted traffic on westbound Interstate 40 in Roane County, specifically at mile marker 357. The incident, which occurred in the last hour, has resulted in the blockage of the left lane and the adjacent shoulder, severely impeding the flow of vehicles and creating significant congestion.

According to reports, emergency responders are actively on the scene, managing the situation and ensuring the safety of those involved. However, details on injuries or the exact cause of the wreck remain unconfirmed at this time.

Motorists traveling between Knoxville and Chattanooga are advised to anticipate potential delays and consider alternative routes, such as State Route 61 or U.S. Highway 70, to bypass the area.
