After the accident, a detour was put in place along Buckhorn Drive for westbound traffic. However, a tractor-trailer ran off the road into a ditch along the detour, which caused traffic to revert to alternating eastbound and westbound on Holland Road.

There were no injuries in the secondary accident, according to the press release.
