Traffic flowing now, but extreme backup after wreck on NB I-43

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- ALL lanes of northbound I-43 were temporarily closed at Brown Deer Rd. on Thursday afternoon because of a traffic accident. But just after 1 p.m., the lanes were reopened -- and traffic began to flow, albeit slowly.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office says the one-vehicle rollover crash occurred around noon.

Sheriff's officials say a man had to be extricated -- but was conscious and breathing at the scene.

He reportedly complained of a knee injury.

North Shore Fire/Rescue officials called for Flight for Life -- and the freeway was closed so Flight for Life could land.
