"The vehicle was redirected into the express lanes, where it hit a tractor-trailer, which lost control and smashed into a concrete median, he said. Police were dealing with "major debris issues," Schmidt said, with concrete scattered over the express lanes. While collector lanes remained open through the morning, express lanes near Winston Churchill Boulevard were closed while roads were cleared, police said."
