A crash with injuries was reported on Fayetteville Street between Riddle Road and Cook Road in Durham. Police urged drivers to find another way to get where they're going.
A traffic advisory posted Wednesday by the Durham Police Department concerned a crash on Fayetteville Street. The department advised motorists to seek an alternate route.
What We Don't Know Yet
As of Wednesday evening, Durham police have not released the exact time the crash occurred, how many people were hurt, or any information about when Fayetteville Street might reopen. The department's advisory was limited to the fact of the closure and the recommendation that drivers find a detour, so those additional details remain unconfirmed.
Earlier Crash on Fayetteville Street
A separate crash with injuries closed Fayetteville Street for several hours on a Sunday night in the 3300 block of Fayetteville Street, across from W.G. Pearson Magnet Elementary School and just north of Hillside High School; images from that scene appeared to show an SUV had flipped and that a car was also involved, and the road reopened just before 11 p.m., as reported by CBS 17.
It is not established that Wednesday's crash is connected to that earlier incident, and the two should be treated as separate events on the same corridor. For now, Durham police are focused on getting drivers around the current closure safely, and commuters in the area should expect delays until further word comes from the department.
