Bus Crashes Into I-90 Median Near Cleveland, Causes Traffic Jam

CLEVELAND — A bus smashed into a concrete barrier on I-90 west on Wednesday morning. Pieces of concrete were scattered across I-90 east and west, closing parts of the highways.

Cleveland Police said I-90's left lanes, near I-77 south, will be closed for several more hours. Crews will be working to clean-up and repair the concrete median that was destroyed.

Ohio Department of Transportation contractors have been called to work on the area. It is not yet clear what may have led to the accident, but rain and high winds have been making driving more dangerous on Wednesday morning.

"The left lane of I-90 east and westbound between E. 22nd Street and Carnegie Avenue will remain closed until further notice as the median wall is reconstructed. Motorists should expect delays in the area," ODOT said in an email.

Back-ups should be expected on I-90 throughout the morning. Social media is already abuzz with commuters complaining about the logjam.

Patch will update this story as more information becomes public.

Wednesday morning was the commute from hell for some Northeast Ohioans. Besides the accident on I-90, a garage collapsed on West Boulevard in Cleveland and several traffic lights were turned off in power outages.

We hope you made it to work safely and without too much hassle.
