At approximately 5:45 a.m., a crash took place at mile marker 14 on eastbound Interstate 80 near Mercer. As a result of the crash, a section of the road spanning approximately 11 miles (17.7 kilometers) remained closed several hours later. At midafternoon, officials had yet to announce a timeframe for when the road would reopen.
