All lanes of Interstate 35 have reopened after a crash caused major delays near 75th Street in Overland Park Thursday morning.

Traffic is back up to normal speeds and all lanes have reopened, KC Scout cameras show. The crash caused cars to move slowly on the interstate from 95th Street in Lenexa up to the 18th Street Expressway near Roeland Park.

Three lanes of traffic were initially closed due to the crash.

In some stretches of the highway, traffic came to a complete stop while crews worked to clear the wreck.

KC Scout cameras showed that by 8:40 a.m., the involved vehicles were off the road and all lanes of traffic were reopened. But traffic was still moving slowly as drivers passed by emergency vehicles on the shoulder.
