UPDATE: Interstate 75 in Whitley County back open

WHITLEY COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ) – The Whitley County Sheriff’s Office says a stretch of I75 that was closed down Tuesday morning is back open.

The interstate was shut down in both directions Tuesday morning near mile markers 15-25 after a two-vehicle accident that caused a fuel spill.

The sheriff’s office says, due to the volume of traffic, it will take awhile for travel to return to its usual pace.
