A multi-vehicle crash on westbound I-80 was snarling traffic in Will County during the Thursday morning commute, with part of the interstate closed as police investigate. NBC 5 traffic reporter Kye Martin described the incident as a major traffic alert for Will County commuters.

Total Traffic & Weather Network reported the crash, involving as many as four vehicles and a possible semi, occurred just before 6 a.m. in the westbound lanes of I-80 near I-55. Martin said some lanes on the westbound side of I-80 were blocked between I-55 to Ridge Road as part of the investigation, with heavy backups and delays expected. Martin advised drivers to use US 52 and US 6 as alternate routes. No further details were provided. This is a developing news story that will be updated as more information becomes available.
