315 south reopens near Ohio State campus before big game against Indiana

(This story has been updated to accurately reflect the most current information.)

Ohio State football fans should be in better shape driving to Saturday’s game after road crews cleared a major traffic crash near campus.

All southbound lanes on State Route 315 beyond North Broadway Street were closed for several hours Saturday morning due to a crash, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation. A semitruck carrying fuel jack-knifed around 6:30 a.m., blocking traffic on the freeway just before the Gooddale Street exit.

The truck was moved from the freeway around 8 a.m., and the freeway reopened about 45 minutes later.
