A van that sat in the median for nearly 45 minutes on southbound 35E at County 96 is finally being towed out. Up until now, the incident had not had an impact on traffic.

Authorities have closed the left lane while the van is towed out. That's creating a back up to County Road H2.

Northbound Hwy. 100 continues to be a tangled mess at 394. A crash blocking the right lane has traffic backed up to Excelsior Blvd.

You will find slowdowns the Crosstown in both directions between Portland Avenue and Hwy. 169. Helping a little bit is that a crash on the eastbound side at Xerxes Avenue has cleared.
