Scenes cleared after multiple accidents back up portions of I-90 west in Lake County

MENTOR, Ohio — Interstate 90 west in Lake County is now clear following multiple accidents Thursday.

Police confirm a portion of the highway in Mentor was briefly closed this afternoon due to a jackknifed semi-truck between State Routes 615 and 306 near Lakeland Community College. According to the Ohio Department of Transportation and WKYC's own tracker, cars were backed up for about five miles towards Mentor Road, delays exceeding two hours at one point.

In addition, a second accident near Concord left traffic restricted around Vrooman Road, with the far-left lane closed. While the freeway was never completely shut down, there were several delays.

Both situations were resolved by Thursday evening. It is unknown if anyone was hurt in either incident.
