I-41 closed for several hours Tuesday in Outagamie County due to crash

The northbound lanes of I 41 in Outagamie County were closed for several hours Tuesday, May 26, due to a multi vehicle crash.

At around 3:47 in the afternoon, officials were sent to a call where a semi and several other vehicles had crashed near County Highway U near the village of Wrightstown.

Upon arrival, units found a semi and crashed into five other vehicles, blocking all but one lane. Despite this one lane being open, officials chose to completely close the highway to avoid any danger to first responders working the scene.

Only one minor injury was reported in the crash that didn’t require transportation to the hospital, but due to the extensive clean up needed, with some vehicles leaking fluid, the highway remained closed for three hours.
