Longview,TX : Section of McCann Road reopened after overnight wreck on July, Friday 28th 2017

Traffic was being diverted off a main Longview thoroughfare this morning as power crews work in the area following an overnight wreck.

Longview police said just before 6:30 a.m. that McCann Road would be shut down between H.G. Mosley Parkway and Ruthlynn Drive for about three hours. Police later said the closure would last about another two hours.

There were officers at the intersections nearby directing traffic in the area which is close to one of the Great Texas Balloon Race special shape balloon inflation locations.

Police spokesman Sgt. Shane McCarter said the one-vehicle wreck occurred at 2:20 a.m. Driver Luke Austin Hall, 23, of Jefferson was taken to a hospital where he was checked before transport to jail where he awaits arraignment on a driving while intoxicated charge.

The timing of reopening McCann Road was unknown as crews from AEP Southwestern Electric Power Co. get the power line back up.

Police posted on Twitter shortly after 8 a.m. that traffic was heavy on Judson Road between Magnolia Lane and H.G. Mosley Parkway as motorists continued to be diverted away from the section of McCann Road.
