Injury accident closes northbound I-17 near Sedona exit

SEDONA, Ariz. (AP) - Northbound Interstate 17 is closed just north of the Sedona exit in north-central Arizona because of a serious accident.

A Department of Public Safety spokesman says a car collided Tuesday morning with a tractor-trailer rig about two miles of the junction with State Route 179 and that there’s at least one serious injury.

DPS spokesman Bart Graves says the wreck is blocking both northbound lanes.

Southbound lanes remain open.
