LEE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI)- An injury crash prompts I-22 to be shut down.

City Spokesperson Leesha Faulkner says earlier Monday night, two 18 wheelers crashed in the Westbound lane near the Auburn Exit in Lee County.

One of the vehicles is a mail truck, and cannot be moved until Federal Postal Inspectors are on-scene.

The driver of the postal truck was ejected and found face down 50 yards east of where the trucks stopped, according to crews on scene.

The driver was taken to NMMC in stable, but serious condition.

The other driver was taken to a hospital for observation.

The Westbound Lane of I-22 will be closed indefinitely.
