TWO WRECKS ON I-40 TODAY PUT TRAFFIC AT A STAND-STILL, CUMBERLAND & PUTNAM
Two wrecks on I-40 today brought travelers to a halt for quite awhile. The first wreck involving multiple vehicles happened between mile marker 287 and 288 Westbound in Cookeville. The other accident also involved multiple vehicles reported on I-40 Eastbound shortly afternoon at the 316 mile marker just before the Crossville 127 exit.
