Tractor-trailers collide, close part of I-85

Two tractor-trailers collided on Interstate 85 west of Charlotte Friday morning, closing part of the highway, reported WBTV, the Observer’s news partner.

The wreck happened near Exit 32’s Little Rock Road.

The N.C. Department of Transportation said all lanes should be reopened by 7 a.m., WBTV reported.

But the Charlotte Douglas International Airport said travels should seek an alternate route.

This is the second tractor-trailer-related crash on I-85 in two days.

Thursday afternoon a truck slid down an embankment near in Belmont.
