Eastbound traffic was slowed Wednesday morning after a steel coil fell from a truck along Interstate 80 in Jackson Township.

State Troopers got calls from passing motorists after 8:30 am after the cargo fell from a flatbed onto I-80 just west of the Meander reservoir.

The coil unraveled on the road and tires on several vehicles were slashed by the sharp metal.

The highway remained open but drivers experienced slow traffic in the area.
