Update: The northbound Causeway span reopened at about 9:00 a.m.
Causeway police have closed the northbound Causeway Bridge due to a multiple vehicle accident involving a tanker truck.
Five vehicles are involved in the wreck which happened about 7:30 a.m. at mile marker 1.3 on the south shore according to Causeway General Manager Carlton Dufrechou. One person is injured and is being transported to the hospital.
“It had actually six vehicles, not sure but we think the cause was a breakdown in the roadway,” said Dufrechou.
Traffic on the southbound bridge is also delayed as onlookers pass the wreck scene on the opposite bridge. No further information is available at this time.
