Just as a crash on westbound 494 at Portland Avenue was moved off the freeway, a three-vehicle crash at Cedar Avenue took its place. A flat-bed semi is parked on the left shoulder and a trooper with two vehicles are on the right side.
Commuters will notice the slow downs that kick in between Hwy. 5 and 24th Avenue.
