SUSANNE. SOME BIG PROBLEMS EAST OF TOWN. SUSANNE WHAT’S GOING ON? BIG PROBLEMS COMING OUT OF SHELBY COUNTY, CERTAINLY HERE THIS MORNING. SO LET’S GET RIGHT TO IT. 64 EASTBOUND IS SHUT DOWN IN SHELBY COUNTY HERE THIS MORNING, RELATIVELY CLOSE TO ZARING MILL ROAD. YOU’LL PROBABLY BE FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA. THERE’S A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION NEARBY. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS A SEMI THAT WENT OFF AN EMBANKMENT AND INTO A WATER SOURCE. THAT PERSON WAS TRANSPORTED THEN TO THE HOSPITAL. SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS 64. EASTBOUND IS SHUT DOWN DUE TO A SEMI CRASH. AND UNFORTUNATELY, OFFICIALS SAY IT’S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE FOR THIS ACCIDENT TO BE CLEARED. SO DO EXPECT THIS TO BE SHUT DOWN FOR SEVERAL HOURS. YOU’LL WANT TO TAKE SHELBYVILLE ROAD AS AN ALTERNATE ROUTE, BUT KEEP IN MIND, OBVIOUSLY WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT BACKUP. IF YOU’RE HEADED OUT TO FRANKFORT, HEADED TO SHELBY COUNTY
