(Hamilton County, Oh.) - Traffic situations put the brakes on the Monday morning commute in parts of Hamilton County.

A crash occurred at around 6:00 a.m. on Interstate 74 Eastbound between the Morgan Road underpass and the ramp to I-275 Southbound. The wreck forced the closure of I-74 EB for about an hour.

It is unclear if anybody was injured in the wreck.
