Tractor Trailer Blocks All Lanes Eastbound I-270 in Hazelwood

The truck appears to be stuck in a horizontal position in the snow. Hazelwood Police Department is on the scene.

A tractor trailer is blocking all lanes eastbound on Interstate 270 just before the I-170 interchange and about 1/3 of a mile before the North Hanley/Graham Road exit in the City of Hazelwood. There are three Hazelwood Police Department vehicles on the scene responding and traffic is backed-up beyond the North Lindbergh Boulevard exit. It appears the trucks fishtailed into a horizontal position and became stuck. There are also several vehicles on the shoulders of each side of the highway. The vehicles don't appear to be a part of the tractor trailer incident. Remember you can like Hazelwood Patch on Facebook at www.facebook.com/HazelwoodPatch.

I saw this right before I got stuck on Taylor. I was on the overpass to 270 from 170 and I wanted to take a photo to go with the article but my phone died. Where is the backup battery when you need it!   more ›
