A crash involving a semi-truck on I-70 near Downtown Zanesville has westbound traffic moving slowly Thursday morning.

According to Muskingum County EMA Director Jeff Jadwin, both lanes will be closed to remove the truck from the roadway.

Jadwin said the vehicle was also leaking fuel, which needed to be cleaned.

The crash occurred near mile marker 154, between Sixth and Seventh Streets.

The Sixth Street on-ramp is closed at this time.

Travelers are advised to use Underwood as a detour.
