The Tennessee Department of Transportation had to remove the road sign from Interstate 65 after it fell Monday morning.

Officials said a semitruck jackknifed and crashed into the sign, causing it to fall on the trailer.

The crash closed I-65 at the I-440 split for several hours, but crews were able to remove the sign from the interstate and put it a safe distance behind the guardrail.

Officials said it “will take some time” to replace the sign.
