Just as a crash on westbound 62 at Valley View Road cleared, a new wreck popped up at 28th Avenue. Two vehicles are involved, including one in the ditch.

It's 15 minutes heading eastbound from 169 to 35W, and the same heading westbound. Traffic is also tight for westbound drivers from 28th Avenue to 35W.

Two other crashs on the Crosstown include one on westbound at 28th Avenue and eastbound at 43rd Avenue.

And complicating things, a stalled vehicle is blocking the left lane at Tracy Avenue.
