Accident Involving Life Flight Vehicle Shuts Down Durham Freeway

The highway was closed at the Chapel Hill Street exit after a Duke University Life Flight vehicle wrecked about 9 a.m. Due to a significant spill of fuel and other engine fluids, the southbound lanes were closed so crews could clean up.

Southbound traffic was diverted onto the southbound Chapel Hill Street exit and then directed across Chapel Hill Street for re-entry to the highway using the southbound Chapel Hill Street entry.

The lanes were reopened about noon.
