The wrecks happened just south of the Walker Chapel Road exit at about noon. One involved a tractor trailer, which was heavily damaged on the passenger side, and a car. The other involved two cars.

The Birmingham State Trooper post had no information about injuries, though multiple ambulances were at the scene.

Traffic was slowed to a crawl as far back as Daniel Payne Drive, and was routed off I-65 through Fultondale streets for a time.

The scene was cleared at about 1:30 p.m.
