The Department of Public Safety has the I-17 northbound shut down due to an over sized semi that has jack-knifed near Black Canyon City.
The semi was carrying a massive 190,000 gallon tank. A mechanical failure caused the semi to jack-knife.
No time has been given for the road to re-open. There are worries of the tank sliding down the hill. More to come soon.
I left Scottsdale at 3 pm and arrived in Prescott at 7pm thanks to this issue. I had to backtrack almost 20 miles to go another 2 hours out of my way. I am so tired of the closures on I-17.
