A single-vehicle crash occurred on Interstate 40 Eastbound in Roane County earlier this afternoon, reported at 2:15 PM ET near mile marker 350. The accident has resulted in the closure of the left lane and the left shoulder of the two-lane stretch.

Consequently, significant traffic congestion is building up behind the scene, stretching back to mile marker 348 as of 2:22 PM ET, though no lanes are currently blocked in that specific area.
