Pile-up caused morning traffic delays

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WJW) – The Monday morning commute was dicey for motorists traveling I-90.

The Ohio Department of Transportation reported a crash closed the ramp from I-71 southbound to I-90 westbound at about 6:30 a.m. The ramp remained closed for about an hour before reopening shortly after 7:30 a.m.

Several lanes of I-90 eastbound were also blocked near W. 44th Street due to another crash that took place at about 7 a.m. An ODOT camera showed what appeared to be a 5-car pile-up.

The vehicles involved were eventually moved to the far right lanes, but the eastbound interstate was temporarily shut down as crews worked to clear debris from the crash.

Delays were reported in the area for more than an hour afterwards.

There’s been no word on what caused the crashes or if anyone was hurt.
