Authorities are still cleaning up and investigating a crash from earlier this morning on University Avenue E. near Lafayette Road in St. Paul. A vehicle struck a pole and power lines were blocking the road.

Some Metro Transit buses also were on detour. It sounds as if at least one southbound lane on Lafayette Road is back open.

Over on eastbound 394, look for a fender bender on the right shoulder at Park Place Blvd., and the accompanying slow down that comes with it.
