CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – A pickup truck crashed with a second vehicle on Wilma Rudolph Boulevard Monday morning, causing traffic backups.

At about 8:55 a.m., the Ford Ranger crashed at the 101st Airborne Division Parkway westbound offramp, according to Clarksville Police spokesman Scott Beaubien. The driver had minor injuries. A second vehicle was involved, but received no damage or injuries.

The crash happened under the overpass, and two northbound lanes were shut down. The crash is causing traffic congestion and motorists are advised to find an alternate route until the roadway can be opened back up, Beaubien said.
