The State Patrol is not releasing any details on the accident at this time. Reporters from the Northfield News are on their way to the scene.

Eastbound travelers on Hwy. 19 can expect to be diverted to Eaves Avenue into Northfield. Westbound traffic is being detoured onto Rice County 59, then to the junction of Hwy. 19 and I-35.

The road is expected to be closed for the next 1-2 hours.
