Jackknifed Semi Causes Traffic Backup On I-75

TROY (WWJ) - The morning commute got off to a rough start for drivers on northbound I-75 in Troy, after a semi-truck jackknifed just north of Big Beaver.

Wreckers were on the scene just after 7:30 a.m. Thursday, trying to remove the FedEx truck from a ditch.

Crews removed the truck in less than an hour, but WWJ's John Bailey said the accident caused traffic backups for several miles, all the way to I-696.
