A hydroplaning SUV collided with a semi-tractor trailer on I-24 Tuesday evening, but nobody was injured.

It traveled across the median and struck a semi-tractor trailer driven by 68-year-old Allen Fraiser of Gilbertsville.

Reidland-Farley Fire Department and Mercy EMS responded, but there were no injuries. Westbound lanes of I-24 were closed for about an hour while the scene was cleared.
