The northbound lanes of Interstate 75 have reopened after a jackknifed semi caused all lanes to close.

The crash happened around 8:50 p.m. on I-75 N at Main Street, also state Route 48, in downtown Dayton.

The highway was reopened a little over two and a half hours later, with police clearing the scene after 11:30 p.m., according to Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center records.

After the crash, traffic backed up almost to U.S. 35, according to an online Ohio Department of Transportation traffic map.

The semi reportedly spilled fuel onto the interstate, but records said that nobody was injured in the crash.
