KHUM DJ Bayley Brown reports from the scene that crash involved three vehicles, a big rig, a tractor, and an SUV.

The roadway has been cleared and that traffic is moving slowly.
###
UPDATE, 2:25 p.m.: Dispatch seems to indicate that everything has been moved over to the shoulder and lanes are open. It’ll probably still be slow going through the crash area, though.
