Report body

Southbound lanes of Interstate 380 were shut down at the S-curve in Cedar Rapids following a crash that resulted in injuries, according to KCRG.

Details about the number of vehicles involved and the extent of the injuries have not been released. It is not yet known how many people were hurt or transported for medical treatment as a result of the collision.

The roadway closure affected traffic passing through one of the more heavily traveled stretches of I-380 in Linn County, an area known for its curved alignment through downtown Cedar Rapids. Motorists in the area were impacted while the blockage remained in place, though information on detour routes or the duration of the closure was not immediately available.

No timeline for when the crash occurred has been confirmed, and officials have not indicated what led to the roadway obstruction. KCRG has not identified any law enforcement or emergency agencies that responded to the scene.

This report is based on limited information released so far. As is common in the early stages of a crash investigation, additional details — including the circumstances of the incident, the number of people affected, and the status of the roadway — may not be fully known until authorities complete their on-scene work.

This story will be updated as more information becomes available from officials and public safety agencies involved in the response.
