A multi-vehicle crash caused major traffic headaches today on Interstate 24 east at the Browns Ferry Road exit, according to the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s website. Traffic is still moving slowly because of the large backup caused by the crash.

Eastbound traffic was affected with the roadway partially blocked. Westbound traffic was unaffected.

Another crash slowed traffic on Interstate 24 west near Fourth Avenue in Chattanooga and a disabled vehicle stalled traffic at mile marker 185 near East Ridge. Those incidents were cleared.

The accident on I-24 eastbound is estimated to be cleared by 8:30 p.m., according to TDOT.
