The Clarksville Police Department is investigating a crash involving a vehicle and a semi near the 8-mile marker that shut down the roadway Friday morning. 

The wreck occurred around 9:45 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 24 between a passenger vehicle and a semi-tractor trailer. The Tennessee Highway Patrol was on the scene and the status of those injured was unknown, though victims were being flown to Nashville hospitals for treatment.
