We're also told tow truck companies were overwhelmed and had trouble sending units out to all the wrecks. Officers were stuck at some of the crashes.
Units were posted at every overpass on I-75 at some point Tuesday morning.
Salt trucks were not out at all until after at least two big semi crashes.
What a mess on the roads. Drivers behind this semi wreck have been at a standstill for about an hour and a half. @LEX18News pic.twitter.com/saltv7XQfg
