A single-car wreck closed three lanes on Interstate 385 northbound in Simpsonville as emergency crews and an ambulance assisted the driver of a silver sedan in a crash that occurred just before 9:30 this morning.

Vehicles backed up for more than a mile as they filed into a single lane of traffic to bypass Simpsonville Fire and Rescue, Simpsonville Police and Greenville County EMS personnel who assisted state Highway Patrol on site.
