Interstate 57 Southbound re-opened at the Edgewood interchange following crashes early Friday morning.  One person was killed.

Fayette County Coroner David Harris said a semi overturned on the southbound lanes.  A semi in the passing lane was among the vehicles stopped at the crash scene and a car ran up under that stopped semi.  The car’s occupant, 32 year old Cody J. Becker of Lakeland, Tennessee, was in the crash.  The incident occurred about 1:30am, with Becker being pronounced deceased at 2:45am.

Southbound traffic had been routed off the interstate at Edgewood and allowed back on at Farina, but the lanes were re-opened as of 9:15am.
