JASPER COUNTY, Mo. – About 11:30 a.m. Friday a tractor trailer at I-44 13.8 mm westbound jackknifed.

The trailer was left hanging off the road and down an embankment. The truck blocked the driving lane, causing a huge backup.

Sources tell us via text that traffic was backed up well beyond Scotland/Tara Motel exit 15.

One lane continued to trickle as Santa Fe Towing straightened the tractor trailer out and brought it back to the roadway.

There were no injuries.

MoDOT Emergency Response assisted the Missouri State Highway Patrol in the incident.
