A major crash on Telephone Road took out multiple lanes Saturday morning, backing up traffic in the residential area around 6:48 AM.
Emergency crews responded to 9001 Telephone Road after the collision. The severity of the crash and lane closures forced drivers to find alternate routes through the neighborhood while responders worked the scene.

If you were heading through that area Saturday morning, you likely felt the squeeze.
