WREG crews on the scene captured what appeared to be an ambulance fire truck that crashed into a pole on the interstate median.
Memphis Police say traffic lanes 1 and 3 are now shut down, but the middle lane is still open. They ask drivers to seek alternative routes at this time while they work to clear the accident.
This comes after an overnight snowstorm in the Mid-South, leaving 1-3 inches of snow. Several wrecks have been ongoing throughout the morning due to winter weather and road conditions.
