JACKSON, Mich. — At 3:45 p.m. on Friday, all lanes of I-94 in Jackson were re-opened.

The crash that closed down one lane of the highway happened just after 12:30 slowing down traffic.

The right lane was blocked on westbound I-94 at Elm Road, exit 141, for about 3 hours.

A truck heading west veered off the road hitting a tree.

FOX 47 News was on the scene and reported that a cab of a semi truck was so badly damaged that it was "basically unrecognizable."

The semi truck is from CR England Global Transportation.

Reports say that the driver was able to get out of the cab and was taken to the hospital.
