I-70 crash backs up traffic through Columbia

Crashes on both sides of Interstate 70 backed up traffic before noon in Columbia.

Boone County Joint Communications sent out alerts about a crash at the 128.6 mile marker of I-70 westbound, just west of the Highway 63 connector, at about 11:30 a.m. Another alert followed a short time later saying eastbound traffic was also backing up to Providence Road.
