Two crashes on I-70 at Stadium
UPDATE 2:45 P.M.: Emergency dispatching notes say multiple vehicles were involved and first responders contained a possible fuel leak, Columbia Fire Department Assistant Chief Brad Fraizer said. Fraizer said no other information was available.
ORIGINAL: A semi-truck ran off Interstate 70 westbound in the rain late Monday morning at the Stadium Boulevard exit.
It wasn’t clear whether anyone was injured. A Missouri Department of Transportation traffic camera showed traffic moving slowly but not stalled at about 11:30 a.m. A tractor-trailer had run off the right side of the road and firetrucks were at the scene.

Authorities also sent out an advisory that a crash was reported on I-70 eastbound at Stadium that was secondary to the original semi crash. One eastbound lane is closed, according to MoDOT, and a camera at the Stadium overpass showed traffic moving slowly through the area.
