Authorities have opened Lafayette Road in both directions at University Avenue after a crash had the road closed for about 2 hours. A car struck a power pole and lines were blocking the road.
Speaking of blocking, the right and left shoulders of eastbound 394 at Park Place Blvd. are blocked with crashers. That has traffic coming to a crawl starting at Hwy. 169.
