PUTNAM COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) - WV 511 says the right, west bound lane of I-64 in Putnam County is back open following a tractor-trailer roll over at mile marker 43.

Traffic is slow on that open lane of the interstate.

At this time, both eastbound lanes are closed and the westbound fast lane is closed as crews work to clear the scene.

WV 511 says those who are traveling eastbound on I-64 should get off at Exit 40 (Route 35 Exit) to detour around the crash.

Once you get off Exit 40, take County Road 33 to State Route 817, and then you can merge back on I-64 at the Mile Marker 44 entrance (St. Albans).

The crash happened just after 12:30 a.m. Friday and only involved the tractor trailer.

The driver was taken to the hospital, but there is no word on their condition.

PUTNAM COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A tractor trailer has rolled over in Putnam County.

It happened just after 12:30 a.m. Friday on I-64 at mile marker 43.

All eastbound and westbound lanes are shut down due to the crash because the semi is laying across the interstate.

Putnam County dispatchers tell WSAZ the driver of the semi has been taken to the hospital.

There is no word on their condition or the severity of their injuries.

The semi, dispatchers say, was traveling eastbound and crossed over into the westbound lanes.

The Teays Valley Fire Department, Putnam County Sheriff’s Department, Nitro Fire Department, and Teays Valley EMS are at the scene.

The West Virginia Department of Highways is also responding to control traffic.

At this point, there are no detours set up, and there is no time line on when the interstate will reopen to traffic.

Drivers are asked to avoid the area.
