Detour set up after 18-wheeler overturns on I-85 NB near Macon Co. line

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency has set up a detour around the crash of an overturned 18-wheeler on Interstate 85 east of Montgomery, just inside the Macon County line. The commercial truck was the only vehicle involved in the wreck, and there were no injuries.  The truck is currently on its side in the median, but it's blocking the inside lane in both directions near mile marker 19. Both northbound lanes will have to be blocked off at some undetermined time in order to remove the wreckage, ALEA officials said.
