I just got my deputy on scene. They said traffic's backed up in the southbound lane very far. I'm not sure how you guys are going to be able to merge onto the interstate from 51 on to 57. I'll try to get you some more info in just a second. 10-4 I've been towed by multiple callers. Northbound and southbound are completely stopped. All my pings are showing it is just pinging south around shake rag where it crosses on the interstate. 1750, go ahead. 1750, one draft for Union County. Negative. It is at the 23-mile marker. Interstate is shut down northbound and southbound lanes. I believe the ambulance was going to try to turn around in the median and go northbound and southbound lane.
