MIAMI (WSVN) - A jack-knifed tractor trailer temporarily closed off all the westbound lanes of Interstate 395, Tuesday afternoon.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers responded to the scene of the tractor trailer crash on I-395 before Interstate 95 in Downtown Miami, at around 1 p.m.

Officials said two trucks crashed into each other, causing one of them to jackknife and knock out a section of the concrete barrier.

Traffic was backed up all the way to Watson Island as crews cleared the area.

All lanes were closed for almost two hours, before they reopened just after 3 p.m.
