MOORESVILLE, NC — The southbound lanes of Interstate 77 have reopened in Mooresville following a serious crash, officials said.

The accident occurred on I-77 southbound at mile marker 35, just before the Brawley School Road exit. All four southbound lanes were closed due to the accident.

Traffic cameras in the area showed what appeared to be multiple vehicles involved, including a box truck that blocked at least two lanes. Multiple agencies responded to the crash, including the Mooresville Fire Department and Iredell County EMS.
