NORTON, Ohio - Route 21 is shut down in Norton due to a crash involving a tractor trailer.
Norton police said a semi crashed into some trees just south of Interstate 76 at about 9 a.m. Wednesday.
The crash has closed the northbound lanes of Route 21, but southbound traffic is still moving.
Northbound traffic is being diverted, and emergency crews are asking drivers to avoid the area. They say it will remain closed through at least 2:30 p.m.
