I-55 southbound from Stateline Rd. to Church Rd. finally reopened about 9:30 p.m. Friday, hours after the crash.

SOUTHAVEN, Miss — Southaven Police said part of I-55 southbound has reopened after a crash early Friday involving a tractor-trailer.

I-55 southbound from Stateline Rd. to Church Rd. was closed after the crash about 11:15 a.m. Friday along the interstate near the Horn Lake Creek Bridge.

Investigators said a tractor-trailer and two other vehicles were involved, and at some point, the bridge was hit and the tractor-trailer flipped onto its side.

Officers said no one was injured.

Hazmat crews were called in to the scene in what Southaven Police said was a "precautionary" measure as crews worked to remove the tractor-trailer.

Originally, the closure was expected to last until about 6 p.m. Friday. Southaven Police later updated to say it would be about 8 p.m. The interstate finally reopened about 9:30 p.m.
