GASTONIA, N.C. — All of I-85 South in Gaston County are open after a crash.
The crash occurred shortly after 5 p.m. on Saturday, just after Exit 20, North New Hope Road.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is advising motorists to take Exit 21, turn right on Cox Rd, turn left onto E. Ozark Ave. and follow that to access I-85 South.
An alternate route is to take Exit 27, follow NC-273 and then take a right onto US-29/US-74 West. Continue on that road to get back to I-85 South.
WCNC Charlotte has reached out to Gaston County Emergency Services about the crash and is waiting to hear back.
