DETROIT (WWJ) - Traffic lanes in both directions of I-94 have been reopened after all eastbound lanes and two westbound lanes were forced to close this afternoon when a gravel hauler collided with a barrier wall in Detroit.
The Michigan Department of Transportation spokesperson, Diane Cross, said the impact of the crash , which occurred at the Conner Road exit, was hard enough to knock the top of the median wall off, but the integrity of the barrier wall still remained intact.

The overturned semi was seen earlier blocking two lanes of EB traffic with one lane allowing motorists to drive around the accident.
Officials completely closed all eastbound lanes of the freeway along with two lanes heading west as crews cleaned up blocks of concrete that broke off during the crash and oil that was spilled from the truck cab.
WWJ's Tracey Mccaskill reported over a mile-long back up in either direction.
It is unknown at this time if anyone was injured in the accident.
