Bullock County, AL – A two-vehicle crash involving an overturned commercial vehicle has forced the closure of all lanes of U.S. 82 near mile marker 212 early Monday morning, according to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA). The crash occurred around 12:44 a.m. and has left the highway shut down for an undetermined amount of time.
Troopers with ALEA’s Highway Patrol Division responded to the scene shortly after the crash and are currently overseeing investigation and cleanup efforts. Officials have not released details about injuries or the cause of the collision, and it remains unclear how long the roadway will remain blocked.
According to ALEA, both eastbound and westbound lanes of U.S. 82 are completely closed in the affected stretch. Drivers traveling through Bullock County early today should expect significant delays and are urged to avoid the area. Detours are not formally established, and motorists may need to use alternate routes to reach their destinations.
The overturned commercial vehicle is requiring extensive recovery efforts, and troopers continue to monitor the situation to determine when it will be safe for traffic to resume. Crews are working to clear debris, assess any damage to the roadway, and ensure that the area is safe before reopening.
Residents and commuters in the region—including those traveling between Union Springs, Midway, and surrounding rural communities—should stay alert for updates from ALEA throughout the morning. Additional information will be provided once investigators gather more details about what allegedly led to the crash and when lanes may reopen.
