A jackknifed semi-truck on I-696 past Mound has caused a freeway closure. 

According to MDOT, all lanes except for the left one, were blocked. As of 11:30 a.m. the freeway was closed in that direction. 

Drivers should avoid the area or else get caught in a backup that stretches over two miles.

Crews at the scene are also dealing with fuel leaking from the big rig, MDOT said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
