A fender bender in the center lane of westbound 694 at Hwy. 252 in Brooklyn Center has traffic coming to a halt near University Avenue. A vehicle lost a wheel, the State Patrol says. Plan on an extra 5 minutes to get across the river.

In Bloomington, crews are working to move a left-lane wreck at Lyndale Avenue out of the way. Until that happens, look for a traffic jam kicking in 12th Avenue.

Eastbound Crosstown is dealing with three-vehicle crash in the left lane at Tracy Avenue in Edina. The backup begins west of Hwy. 169.
