As a result of a significant collision, the flow of traffic on Interstate 86 in the southeast corner of Chemung County has been impeded.
The collision, which occurred only a short distance east of the Lowman exit (Exit 58), caused the westbound lane to be completely blocked off. In the direction of the east, traffic was limited to a single lane, and vehicles driving in that direction were backed up for approximately half a mile.

At the time of 1:50 p.m., there was no information available regarding whether or whether the collision resulted in any casualties.
