Authorities said that crash led to a traffic backup, and at approximately 11:30 a.m., another semi traveling southbound toward the scene was unable to stop. That truck reportedly lost control and ran off the right side of the road. A third semi-truck and a passenger vehicle also went off the right side during the incident, officials said.

No injuries were reported. Deputies said one additional passenger vehicle sustained tire damage from debris linked to the initial crash.

Southbound US-127 remained closed until 1:40 p.m., and all lanes have since reopened.

The sheriff’s office said it received assistance from the Leslie Police Department, Michigan State Police, the Department of Natural Resources, Leslie Fire Department, Mason Fire Department, and the Michigan Department of Transportation.

Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Sgt. Adam Jackson at 517-676-8212.
