The incident involved three vehicles: a Toyota RAV4, a Honda hatchback of unknown color, and a black Jeep. The collision occurred around 5:00 AM near the North Main Street off-ramp.

By 5:17 AM, a police unit confirmed that all lanes were open, allowing traffic to resume its normal pace.
The Toyota RAV4 was observed moving off the scene and was drivable, while towing was requested for at least one of the other vehicles involved. The status of the remaining vehicle was cleared from the scene without further details.
