OMAHA, Neb. — A crash in Northwest Omaha caused traffic delays Tuesday near Interstate 680 and Irvington Road.

Authorities said the crash involved multiple vehicles and slowed traffic to a crawl, affecting dozens of drivers in the area.

Emergency crews responded to the scene to assist those involved, while tow trucks worked to remove damaged vehicles and clear the roadway.

Traffic has been affected in both directions, with only one lane currently open, leading to long backups and major delays.

Officials urged motorists to drive with caution, follow traffic signs and use alternate routes if possible. Traffic is expected to improve as cleanup efforts continue.
