I-17 near Sedona reopens after tractor-trailer crash - CBS 3 Springfield - WSHM

It was slow going on southbound Interstate 17 just south of Sedona after a tractor-trailer crashed through a guard rail Friday afternoon that left it hanging over a canyon.

Traffic was backed up six to eight miles after the 3 p.m. crash. The driver was able to escape without injury.

The cab and trailer were cleared from the scene just north of State Route 179 about 5:50 p.m. and traffic slowly was making its way toward Phoenix.

There was no word on what caused the crash.
